I’m a relatively new attending with a new job in the nursery. My medical director wants me going to resuscitations and helping at deliveries for babies who should go to the nursery (above 35w, >2kg) which I’m fine with (renewed NRP and everything). But when I tried to apply for neonatal stabilization privileges, the medical staff office said I’m not allowed because I’m not neonatology trained. Is that right? Is it hospital dependent? Should I just let my medical director deal with it? How can the APPs attend deliveries but I, a pediatrician, can’t? (Not a knock on them because I’m re-learning a ton from them. Just questioning the system)
