Newborn Care
Residents provide care to newborns on the mother-baby unit at Wakefield hospital under the directions of the nursery attending physicians. In addition residents complete a clinical experience check-list. Lectures are provided by nursery attending physicians.
In addition to general readings, the newborn nursery has a set of protocols specific to Montefiore that are located on the intranet as part of the Patient Care Manual.
