In any large inpatient pediatrics hospital, pediatric medical emergency teams (PMET) are put in place to assist patients in cardiac or respiratory arrest. PICU Fellows that are fortunate enough to be invited to participate in these traditional code teams during their training gain invaluable experience that they can bring to their future practice. It is a highly desirable skill and experience by many employers. Your interviewer ideally wants to hear that you would jump at an opportunity to participate on their PMET team.

"I would jump at the chance to participate on your code teams. I am well-versed in cardiac arrest situations and love the quick thinking and fast-paced environment of saving a young patient's life. As you can see, my residency training is in New York City at a very busy metropolitan hospital. Code teams were a marvel to watch in action the few times they came to units I was rotating on."

Let your interviewers know that you are familiar with the code teams in a hospital setting. Be sure to elaborate on the fact that Pediatric Intensivists typically participate in teams that include a physician, a fellow, a PICU Nurse, and a PICU Respiratory Therapist.
