Clinical setting
PICU experience policies vary by program and may include acuity or recency conditions. Results appear only when PICU is named in an affirmative statement.
We require explicit positive PICU language in structured admissions notes. We do not turn a generic alternative-unit flag or a missing policy into PICU acceptance.
