"It's Kind of a Rite of Passage": An Exploration Into Residents' Experience of Learning in a Critical Care Setting.

ABSTRACT: Background Many trainees complete rotations in intensive care units (ICUs), but little is known about how ICU rotations impact learners. Understanding residents' experiences in ICU rotations is a crucial step toward improving resident education and understanding the consequences, intended and unintended, of critical care learning. Objective We performed a qualitative study to understand how pediatric and emergency medicine residents experience a pediatric ICU (PICU) rotation. Methods For this phenomenological study, we explored residents' experiences with critical care learning by focusing on the high-stakes, emotionally charged PICU environment. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 residents after their first PICU rotation from July 2019 through March 2020
