The Newborn Nursery service admits over 2100 infants per year. During rotations
in the Newborn Nursery, residents perform all aspects of routine newborn
care, including physical assessment, counseling of parents and follow up
in pediatric clinics. In addition, the resident gains experience in the
management of common newborn problems not requiring intensive care services.
The resident is supervised and makes daily rounds with senior staff on
this broad-based newborn population with various primary care challenges
including prematurity, drug or infectious desease exposure, adolescent
and mohters. Residents have opportunity to gain skill in providing breastfeeding
counseling and performing circumcisions. |
