Lessons from the Medical ICU Rotation in Residency

The ICU rotation was easily the most challenging and emotionally draining rotation of my internal medicine residency. As a resident, you are tasked with taking care of the most acutely ill patients in the hospital. From code blues to placing central lines, there is literally never a dull moment in the ICU. In this video, I discuss seven lessons that I learned during my two months working in the ICU as an internal medicine resident. I hope you enjoy the video and learn something to take with you as you rotate in the ICU.

Appreciate the advice, since Ill be starting on ICU next week as an intern. Keep up the good work!

Good luck! You’ll get the hardest rotation over with first and learn a lot right off the bat. The rest of the year should be easier after MICU.
