A true "hospital within the hospital", the Department includes several hospital units, notably medical-surgical intensive care and continuous care, as well as the emergency department and all paediatric specialties. The interaction between units and with the neonatology and paediatric surgery services makes this position an opportunity for multidisciplinary work and care of patients with fascinating diversity.
