Critical Care Fellowship

The Department of Anesthesiology offers a fellowship in critical care medicine.  The fellowship is fully accredited by the ACGME and following successful completion the fellow is eligible to take the subspecialty examination in critical care medicine offered by the American Board of Anesthesiology.

The duration of the program is one year.  Each candidate must have successfully completed an anesthesiology residency in the United States in order to be eligible for this fellowship.

The Department of Anesthesiology is a medium-sized department with a passionate commitment to fellow education.  We accept two critical care fellows each year so that we have an overall trainee complement of twenty-four residents and two to three fellows.  Each fellow is assured personalized and in-depth clinical training.

The University campus is the home base for the department.  The range of surgical cases on the University campus includes cardiac and vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, orthopedic surgery, surgical oncology, and laparoscopic surgery (including bariatric surgery); liver, kidney, pancreas, and small bowel transplantation; and major trauma.  The University campus also has several critical care units devoted to the care of adult and pediatric patients.

Our faculty are extremely proud of our fellowship program and of our track record of providing superbly trained intensivists.  We encourage you to inquire about joining us.
