Job description
Job description
7am-7am (24 hours per calendar day). # of hours spent in-house varies depending on census and acuity, on average 5-6 hours on clinical care per day. Can opt to spend extra time teaching students/residents.
When rounds/discharges are finished, we take call with a 15-minute in-person response time for emergencies such as neonatal resuscitations. ED calls for consults and admissions don’t have as strict of a turnaround time.
Are circumcisions required? No, not performed at this facility.
Are the pediatric hospitalists required to attend every delivery or just high risk? Just high risk- RTs (along with an RN) attend high-risk deliveries and are well trained in NRP. We are very rarely asked to attend high-risk deliveries (~1-2x/month) but will be called emergently if the baby is not responding to initial resuscitation with RN/RT, or if the baby needs persistent CPAP, etc. outside of the delivery room.
Patients per day seen on the pediatric Med/Surg floor? Varies, generally 0-4. Average 1-2 during respiratory season.
Open or closed Pediatric ICU? We don’t have an in-house pediatric ICU but we do have a level 2 nursery where we treat and stabilize. Critical patients are stabilized and transferred.
Neonatology support? PeaceHealth in Eugene, OR is available for phone consults and transfers. The transfer team has dedicated NICU staff who will help further stabilize the baby as-needed before transporting to Eugene.
