Rotation Coordinator
The Jaber Al Ahmed ICU rotation offers an intense, hands-on experience that will challenge and transform your clinical acumen. Located on the first floor near Gate 7, the Purple ICU is your base for high-acuity medical, cardiac and surgical cases. Handover begins daily at 7:30 AM in the ICU classroom, followed by multidisciplinary rounds where you’ll present patients, contribute to management plans, and document care. On-call duties include overseeing ICU patients, responding to consultations, performing procedures under registrar supervision, and ensuring 48-hour follow-up of discharged ICU patients. You’ll work closely with a supportive team of intensivists and registrars, gaining autonomy while always having backup. Daily bedside teaching and regular didactic sessions deepen your knowledge, while structured antimicrobial stewardship rounds and journal clubs reinforce evidence-based care. We have also introduced curriculum-linked media to reinforce the didactic based teaching. You will also be assigned a topic to present to the ICU team once during you time with us. This rotation is a rigorous but rewarding opportunity to develop critical care skills, leadership, and clinical confidence in a collaborative environment.
To better prepare for your ICU rotation, review the following orientation presentation and before your rotation.
