#TransportDay at boot camp. All about flight safety, MedCall, adapting on-the-fly. As a regional referral center, a key part of fellowship is transport— by ground & by air. #firstflightsuit @STATmedevac UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM


#ProcedureDay at fellow boot camp. Going old-school. Cornish hen anyone? Don’t mind the chest tube. #backtobasics #sim #MedEd #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #MedEd #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM


Practicing direct and video laryngoscopy techniques. With intubations decreasing, sim is increasingly important for learning this life saving skill. #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #MedEd #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM #sim

#ECMOday at boot camp. Longitudinal ECMO curriculum starts during orientation with “Pump & Prime” hands-on sim and case-based didactics. #whatstheOI #nicufellowship @childrenspgh #sim #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #MedEd #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM


#CommunicationDay at boot camp. Difficult conversations are unfortunately part of the neo life. Learning to navigate the discomfort is essential. #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #MedEd #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM


#POCUS basics and vascular access at orientation. Image generation, knobology, probe handling, and #sim. Nothing beats practice for improving hand-eye coordination and pattern recognition. Get out there and play! #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #MedEd #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM


Congratulations, Kate! 🙌 Just finished 1st year of fellowship & now a CHNC Trainee Travel Awardee for her abstract “Standardized management of infants with CDH reduces ECMO need & improves survival at discharge.” CHNC #NeoTwitter @AAPNeonatal UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh @PittCHATTER

1st official day in the unit for our fantastic 4 new fellows! 1 month of orientation & shadowing complete. Now the learning gets real. Be humble; stay curious; ask why. Remember— you’ve got this! And we’ve got your back. #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #MedEd #neonatology #nicu #SONPM


Tag-team transport calls & peer consults. Two brains are better than one. Talk it out. Use that hive mind! Your differential will thank you. #teamwork #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block #MedEd #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM


Huge congrats to Danni (3rd yr fellow extraordinaire)! 👏 Tune in for her Midwest SPR platform “Neonatal characteristics & associated morbidity in a contemporary cohort of premature infants at high risk for infection.” #NeoTwitter Neo Kids On The Block AAP Neonatal UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh @PittCHATTER

The NPM fellowship community is #blessed to have ONTPD and Neo Kids On The Block supporting fellows, programs, and leadership. The resources are amazing! Get involved! #NeoTwitter #MedEd #neonatology #nicu @AAPNeonatal #SONPM
