PEDS 669 & PEDS 687 Neonatal Pediatric Clerkship
Epic Access/Training
Students on the NICU rotations are required to complete UW Epic training that grants access to the EMR at UWMC.
All UWSOM students are already registered for the required Epic Orders IP/OP Medical Student training.
Login to the UW Medicine Learning Hub to check your learner dashboard for this training. You only need to complete the required Epic Orders IP/OP Medical Student training once in order to get basic level access.
You will use your UW Medicine account to access Epic and can maintain account credentials at MyUW.
If you have any questions about training or access, contact the UW Medicine Help Desk at 206-543-7012 or the Epic Hotline directly at 206-520-2255.

Turn right and follow signs to the Mountlake Tower. Take the elevator to the 4th floor. Take a right when getting off the elevator, the front desk will be immediately ahead. The front desk person will notify the on-call nurse that a medical student has arrived.
Evaluations for Your PEDS 669 NICU Elective
The 360 evaluations are anonymous and are meant to get feedback from people outside the division for our fellows, so they receive a well-rounded evaluation of their clinical performance. The evaluations are sent electronically through our residency management program called MedHub. This process is very important for the success of our neonatology fellowship program and your input is appreciated!
