The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship is an RRC-approved training program in the advanced care of critically ill and injured patients. Rotations include 7-9 months in the Trauma/General Surgery SICU, 1 month each in cardiac, and vascular/thoracic.

The fellowship provides experience and training in state-of-the art surgical critical care, with a wealth of surgical pathology.

Fellows participate in and lead daily teaching rounds. They also participate in patient care, educational conferences, and specialized rotations. There are multiple opportunities to participate in ICU committees, practice management guideline development, research projects, and fellowship administration.

Training will consist of twelve months: seven to nine dedicated to General Surgical Critical Care and Trauma (the fellow takes trauma call during this period), one to Cardiac Critical Care and one to Vascular and Thoracic Critical Care. Of the remaining time, electives can be chosen from the following: Echocardiography, Critical Care Nephrology, Critical Care Burn, Nephrology Critical Care, Pediatric Critical Care, and Transplant Critical Care.

Program started 1993
