PEDI 8437V — Newborn Nursery
The Newborn Nursery 4th year elective has been designed to expose and introduce the future pediatric or family medicine resident to newborn medicine and physiology in the UAMS well-baby nursery and neonatal intensive care unit. The experience expands on the common neonatal pathology seen during the 3rd year Pediatric Clerkship. Students work closely with a neonatal hospitalist and will observe multi-specialty huddle, attend deliveries, learn about procedures common to newborn care, understand the long-term longitudinal care for premature neonates by participating in daily rounds, and gain an appreciation of the complex follow-up needs of high risk neonates.
