We have a separate ICU that is staffed by 3 technicians and an assistant 24 hours a day.

Students are expected to arrive at 8am in time for clinician rounds that start at 8.30am. Students stay until 5pm (or whenever the specialty service finishes for the day). Students can examine patients and contribute to case discussion but are NOT allowed to perform patient related procedures (including IV catheter placement, blood draws, surgery, endoscopy etc)
