Critical Care Medicine Fellowship

The critical care medicine fellowship is a fully accredited training program offering a rigorous clinical experience and varied research opportunities. While here, you’ll work with a diverse patient population under the guidance of multi-disciplinary faculty, including pulmonary/critical care, anesthesia, surgery, etc. As a major referral center, you will have exposure to various patient populations and pathologies, including adult solid organ and stem cell/bone transplants, as well as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation patients. Upon completion, you will be eligible for board certification in critical care medicine. The fellow is also expected to be involved in education and training of medical students and junior residents.

Program highlights

The fellowship includes clinical training in the Medical Intensive Care Unit, Surgical Intensive Care Unit, Burn/Trauma Intensive Care Unit, Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit, and Neurosciences Intensive Care Unit. The fellow will also rotate through a community ICU of an affiliate hospital to gain experience with differences in community medicine. Additional rotations include research time, Radiology, Palliative Medicine, Echocardiography and Ultrasound.

The program will be conducted as a two-year program for physicians who have completed or plan to complete either an internal medicine or emergency medicine residency.

 At this time, we are not offering a position for a one-year training program.

The fellow will be expected to participate in conferences offered by the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine and make appropriate presentations during the course of their program.
