Clinical setting
NICU acceptance can depend on acuity, patient population, role, and additional adult ICU experience. Each result requires explicit NICU language.
We search the program’s structured admissions notes for an explicit positive NICU acceptance statement. A generic combined ER/PICU/NICU flag alone is not enough to prove NICU acceptance.
