PEDI 8418V — Neonatology
The Neonatology 4th year elective has been designed to expose and introduce the future pediatric, OB-Gyn, or anesthesia resident to newborn intensive care in the UAMS NICU. The experience expands on the common neonatal pathology seen during the 3rd year Pediatric Clerkship. Students fully participate with the medical team and will observe prenatal counseling of families on L and D, attend high risk deliveries, learn about procedures common to newborn intensive care, understand the long term longitudinal care for premature neonates by participating in daily rounds with the NICU team, and gain an appreciation of the complex follow-up needs of high risk neonates.
