Two additional months are spent in the PICU as the supervisory resident. Residents spend two months in the nursery intensive care unit during the last two years of training, making the total NICU experience four months in length. The remaining months of each year are devoted to ambulatory pediatrics and elective subspecialty training. Again, the resident has an average of one day off per seven days during these in-house services. As in the first year, supervisory residents are always available in house, and faculty is on call around the clock.
Residents make team rounds with interns, students and faculty daily.
Each resident team generally includes two interns and a supervisory resident.
