PEDI 710MP MICU Medical Student - Nurse Experience

Credits: 2
Collaboration between physicians and bedside nurses is a cornerstone of quality patient care. Despite improved attention to interprofessional education as a means of enhancing understanding and teamwork, there remain few authentic, clinically based interprofessional experiences for students in the inpatient setting. Please note: This course is identical in structure to PEDI 710PP, except that it takes place in the adult medical intensive care unit. On this rotation, you will spend three 12-hour shifts per week (1-3 should be night shifts, 7pm-7am) working with the MICU nurses, learning nursing interventions, interacting with patients and families, and generally becoming acclimated to the interdisciplinary environment of the MICU. You will be assigned a nursing preceptor by the MICU charge nurse during the shifts worked.

Graded: Pass/No pass
