QUESTION 11 OF 25

Are you going to be doing pre-term neonatal or NICU care?

This answer is simple if you don't plan on doing newborn care. If you do, your interviewer will want to know to what extent. Before your interview, you should know what level NICU this facility has or this group serves. You also need to know that you are being asked this to see if you're overstepping your privileges, which are better practiced by a neonatologist sub-specialist.

"As a pediatrician, I know that I have a new patient any time a baby is delivered who is assigned to me or whose family uses me as their primary care doctor. I will only manage nursery cases with which I am comfortable and have no problem seeking transfer of care to a neonatologist, if it would be better for the newborn. As such, I will also serve as the liaison between the family and the neonatologist for transparency and the family's comfort and updates."
