Surgical Care
The 12-month fellowship is designed to provide surgical critical care fellows with an education in the principles and practice of state-of-the art trauma and surgical critical care according to medical knowledge and patient care, practice-based learning and improvement, systems-based practice, professionalism, and interpersonal and communication skills. This is accomplished by exposing the surgical critical care fellows to a broad array of surgical illnesses through didactic instruction in the basic and clinical sciences, as well as education during teaching rounds, primary patient care, educational conferences, and specialized rotations.
Upon completion of training, the surgical critical care fellows are expected to integrate the acquired knowledge into the clinical situation to demonstrate proficiency in:
- Surgical critical care decision-making
- Specific organ system support
- Evaluation of new technology and treatment techniques
- ICU administration
- Outcomes assessment
- Research design
- Interaction with patients, families and other medical professionals
Our fellowship is individualized to each fellow and is focused on developing the fellow's future practices whether in academics or a private setting. The fellowship year is also customized to address specific deficits that fellows might have with respect to operative, non-operative and interventional management.
