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.
