PED 40110 - Junior Internship in NICU
Cr Hrs: 6
Session Length: 4 weeks
This is a face to face clinical rotation receiving 6 credit hours. The student will function as a junior intern with increased autonomy in patient care and must demonstrate competency in all of the Entrustable Professional Activities required for graduation. For this Junior Internship, the student’s care of critically ill infants is under direct ongoing supervision of NICU faculty and/or fellows.

The student participates in rounds and supervised patient care on the same basis as the pediatric intern. This includes delivery room management of distressed infants, admission of inborn and transported neonates, management of respiratory support, fluids and electrolytes and all other considerations that comprise multisystem support of sick infants, as well as procedures inherent to such care. Students would also be expected to write orders that can be cosigned and take overnight call or participate in a series of night shifts one week of the rotation. Exposure to neonates with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) would highlight the current national health crisis of narcotic addiction and its impact on newborn. Ongoing communication with perinatal social workers, whose activities are concerned with high-risk infants and their mothers, will expose the student to the highly sensitive psychosocial ramifications experienced by the families of babies in intensive care units.

The community rotation is focused on familiarizing the student with community organizations and efforts that contribute to the health and wellbeing of our children. The organizations include Le Bonheur community outreach - West Tennessee Mobile Van (visits schools with children who need routine care), Nurse Family Partnership (home visits for needy families), Tipton County Schools (school nursing), LEAD (physical, speech and occupational therapy for disabled children from all socio-economic strata), LCAP (child abuse assessment), and SafeKids. Other organizations include - The Urban Child Institute (TUCI) and the Shelby County Health Department. Understanding advocacy for children is also part of the goal of the rotation and various activities are available including trips to Nashville when the state legislature is in session. The student will participate in several activities each week. A written journal of these activities is required as well as periodic group discussions. Reading material is also provided for each activity to augment the experience. Because of the scheduling of activities with schools and other agencies that decrease or change activities in the summer/holiday months, the rotation is only offered during eight months - August through November and January through April. The student who signs up for this rotation must have a highway safe vehicle and gas money for travelling to the various West Tennessee outreach locations. Trips to Nashville when scheduled are provided.
