So You Want to Be a PEDIATRIC INTENSIVIST [Ep. 37]

Показать описание

So you want to be a pediatric intensivist. You love children and want to help take care of some of the sickest patients in the hospital. Let’s debunk the public perception myths and give it to you straight. This is the reality of pediatric critical care. Pediatric critical care is the specialty of medicine focused on the treatment of seriously ill children from birth to 18 years old and beyond.

Much like pediatricians, pediatric intensivists are the masters of physiology and pharmacology. They use the wide breadth of knowledge from medical school and residency and apply it at the bedside on a daily basis.

To become a pediatric intensivist, you must complete 4 years of medical school, followed by 3 years of pediatric residency, and 3 years of pediatric critical care fellowship. Some will opt for an additional chief year during residency to increase their competitiveness for fellowship.

As a Pediatric Intensivist, what I absolutely love is the ability to apply physiology amongst all organ systems & also be with families during their most difficult times! Thanks for such an inspiring, accurate representation of this subspecialty @KevinJubbal.

Still waiting for Haematology/Oncology. Will you do that next?! :D

I think another important factor to consider for PICU is that there will always be unexpected, sudden changes in patients, so you have to be okay with always being on your toes, like in emergency medicine. And you don't only respond to your own patients but also to patients in other units who may need higher level of care so you'll be running to other parts of the hospital. Thus, there will be multiple interruptions while you're trying to work. If you are the type who wants things under control and for things to go as planned, this may not suit you.

how about an infectious disease doctor?

Hi-nibf

Hi Dr. Jubbal! I am wondering if you could make a video about medical scribing as a premed student? How to get certified, how to avoid getting scammed by a certifier, and how to choose a specialty? Maybe even how to make this experience relevant to med school applications?

noicsutak

Oh this is very heartwarming because I am considering pediatrics or ID PEDs

camiloiribarren
