Residents in categorical pediatrics, internal medicine-pediatrics, pediatric neurology, anesthesiology and pediatric emergency medicine fellows all experience rotations through the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Oishei’s Children’s Hospital.
An integral part of our team, they are responsible for helping to admit patients, perform procedures, and manage various aspects of care, including mechanical ventilation, sedation, and vasoactive support.
Overseen by the ICU fellows, residents are encouraged to formulate care plans and differential diagnoses and to participate in care conferences.
Bedside and didactic teaching sessions given by pediatric critical care attending and fellow physicians are designed to help useful, generalizable knowledge and principles to all residents, irrespective of their career plans and goals.
