Our fellowship is overseen by eight full-time trauma/critical care surgeons and several anesthesiologist faculty. The curriculum includes six months in the surgical-trauma ICU, one month each in the pediatric, medical and cardiothoracic ICUs, two months of elective rotations and one month of research, with multiple opportunities to participate in clinical research projects.
