PEDI G890 - Pediatric Intensive Care


Credits: 2

The purpose of the rotation is to provide students with an introduction to the evaluation and care of critically ill children. The student will function as a member of the pediatric team in the pediatric intensive care unit. Students will be expected to admit and work up patients assigned to them by the senior resident or PICU attending. These patients will be followed on a daily basis by the student. Students should be able to discuss the patient’s diagnosis and management plan under the supervision of a pediatric senior resident and the PICU attending. Educational material is presented via bedside didactic rounds and guided reading of the PICU notebook, a compilation of relevant critical care articles, etc.  No night call is required.
