Developmental Care of Sick Newborns - A Multidisciplinary Approach
Bill Ferris Malcolm, Kathryn Suzanne Sarfert
Description from DukeHub
This selective will introduce the student to the more 'general pediatric' aspect of neonatology, including complex convalescent medical and developmental care, as well as promote the importance of teamwork in caring for premature and sick babies. Students will gain an appreciation of the importance of a well-coordinated hospital discharge and early intervention services, both in the hospital and after discharge for high-risk infants. They will participate in the activities of the medical and developmental team in the intensive care and transitional care nurseries and learn the important role played by psychologists, therapists and social workers in caring for these infants and their families both in the inpatient and outpatient setting. They will attend morbidity & mortality and developmental/discharge planning rounds, Special Infant Care Clinic and shadow members of the developmental team. Meeting location for the first day of classes - NICU waiting room, 5th floor Duke North. 9:00am. Contact is Dr. Malcolm or secondary contact Dr. Kate Cainfor more information.
