Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship

Program Description

This selective, accredited program has earned a reputation as the best-matched Critical Care Program in the U.S. 

The Division of Critical Care Medicine strives to provide an excellent education to its trainees, to instruct them fully in the clinical, administrative, ethical, humanitarian, teaching, and leadership & professionalism aspects of Intensive Care and to give trainees an understanding of research methodology.

Attendings and Fellows provide clinical coverage in both the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, providing broad-based opportunities for research and education.

Fellows in the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit receive training in the preoperative and postoperative management of infants and children with congenital heart disease, including exposure to complex single-ventricle physiology, transplantation medicine, mechanical assist devices and cardiac anesthesia.

The PICU is a multidisciplinary care unit that integrates the disciplines of Nursing, Respiratory Care, multiple surgical subspecialties, Anesthesiology, and Critical Care in the management of the critically ill child. The PICU supports a large and active trauma service and is integrated with the largest neonatal/pediatric transport service in the United States.

We are a pioneer program in regards to a Professionalism and Leadership curriculum that is taught throughout the three years of Fellowship training. There is an emphasis on personal growth and development in order to prepare our Fellows to serve as future leaders in Pediatric Intensive Care

The educational mission of the program includes training Pediatric critical care fellows and anesthesiology fellows together to create a unique environment that attracts, recruits, educates, and developes excellent physician leaders in pediatric anesthesiology and pediatric critical care.
