About this session
Working in paediatrics (children's health) gives you a unique and wonderful opportunity to change lives for the better, right at their very beginning. Nowhere is this more relevant than in neonatal medicine – the care of just-born babies. In this talk, Dr Amy Haeffner will provide a brief introduction to working as a resident doctor in paediatric medicine and some of the newest and most exciting advances in how we care for premature babies. This will include what a day might look like in paediatrics and in neonates, and the cutting edge of caring for infants born on the cusp of viability. There will also be plenty of opportunities to chat about medicine as a career, top tips for applications, and any other questions you might have!
