Curriculum
Core Curriculum
The mission of the Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program is to provide a multidisciplinary experience. Our goal is to develop critical care physicians that can practice in any environment. We provide fellows with not only a comprehensive critical care education but also impart tools and experiences for our fellows to practice in any ICU.

Fellow life in the ICU
Fellows serve as junior attendings by assisting with and facilitating multidisciplinary rounds, teaching residents/medical students, and triage consults/admissions with direct supervision of critical care attending. Our goal is for the team to focus on managing critically ill patients and to maximize the educational experience. During the week, fellows have protected time for a myriad of lectures and conferences.
