Description
Students will rotate as team members in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital. The Team consists of an attending, a fellow, and 3-4 residents in pediatrics and emergency medicine. Students will admit patients into the pediatric intensive care unit with the help of a resident or fellow. Students will round on their patients daily, participate in their daily care, including arranging consults, studies and procedures, and expect to present them in morning rounds. A full admission note as well as daily progress notes for the medical record is expected for each patient followed by the student. The attending physician will supervise the student's work on a daily basis and provide ongoing feedback on the student's performance. Students will participate in daily lectures on pediatric intensive care topics as well as mock codes to expand their knowledge base of critical illness. The opportunity to attend daily pediatric conferences and weekly Grand Rounds presentations is also available.
