The PICU is a multidisciplinary six bed unit caring for children and adolescents from newborns to 22 years; the sub-intern will work closely on a team with a senior pediatric resident from the Boston Combined Residency Program in Pediatrics (BCRP) and the PICU attending. The sub-I will act as the primary provider for their assigned patients. Major teaching objectives of the rotation are the pathophysiology of childhood critical illness, pediatric advanced life support (PALS), and the various types of intensive care support (i.e. forms of mechanical ventilation, critical care nutrition and coordination of care) as well as psychological and social support for patients and their families.
