Description of Program

The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Medical School is based at the UMASS Memorial Health System in Worcester, Massachusetts. Rotations in three hospitals may be selected, giving the Fellow an opportunity to gain superb critical care training in both academic and community critical care settings. The University Hospital is a recognized tertiary referral facility for central and western Massachusetts, and is the recognized trauma center for the region.

Our facility provides all specialties, allowing additional experience in pediatric, general surgery, vascular, cardiothoracic, transplantation, burn, neurosurgical, and plastics and reconstructive critical care. Rotations may be selected in the medical ICU, and also at an ultramodern medical-surgical ICU at a community teaching hospital. The Fellowship combines all aspects of critical care training, including clinical care, research, and administration. Two fellows are accepted each year for the one year fellowship training period.
