About
The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a fast-paced environment that is often stressful for pediatric residents. Rotation educational objectives are often neglected due to the demands of patient care in combination with constraints of resident duty hours and transient resident schedules. Recent surveys from UCLA pediatric residents’ NICU rotations indicate a desire for more consistent educational instruction that fits into their daily workflow.
NICU Essentials is a mobile curriculum that utilizes asynchronous learning methodologies. The app aims to simultaneously educated pediatric residents on their NICU rotations while providing them the tools to be successful medical providers. NICU Essentials was first conceptualized by UCLA neonatal-perinatal medicine fellow physician Juanita Lewis, MD and further developed with the aid UCLA pediatric resident physician Meghana Karmarkar, MD.
NICU Essentials is currently being piloted at UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital.
Available soon in Google Play and iOS App Stores.
