Familiarity with advanced life support equipment, ventilators, and EMR systems is typically required, as well as certifications like PALS or NRP. Strong critical thinking, emotional resilience, and effective communication skills set top performers apart in this role. These competencies are essential for delivering complex care, supporting families, and ensuring the best outcomes for critically ill infants with CDH.
