Through an expansive exposure to neonatal intensive care the medical student will learn
and/or reinforce many of the basic principles of pathophysiology and patient care. This is
an excellent opportunity to consolidate the basics of assessment and treatment of
respiratory diseases, fluids and electrolytes, nutrition, and principles of infectious
disease. The student will also learn about disease processes unique to the newborn such
as: perinatal depression, respiratory distress syndrome, congenital heart disease, and
necrotizing enterocolitis. The student will also develop skills in collaborating with
consultant staff and communicating with parents and families of critically ill infants.
The student will become familiar with the principles and practice of:
1. Neonatal resuscitation
2. Evaluation and treatment of respiratory diseases of the newborn
3. Evaluation and treatment of congenital heart disease and other congenital
anomalies.
4. Management of fluid and electrolyte problems
5. Assessment of nutritional needs, and provision of both enteral and parenteral
nutrition
6. Treatment of neonatal sepsis and other infections
7. Family communication and support
The student will have supervised hands-on experience with a variety of technical
procedures: endotracheal intubation, umbilical artery and vein cannulation, radial artery
sticks, bladder taps, lumbar puncture, and chest aspirations/chest tube insertions. The
student will also attend high-risk deliveries as a member of a newborn resuscitation
team.

experience in evaluating infants in the delivery room, and in resuscitation skills. The
student will also learn procedures as available. The rotation will include night call
approximately once per week. The student will be provided self-learning programs on
neonatal resuscitation and stabilization. Daily radiology and teaching conferences will
