Adult Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program

The adult Critical Care Medicine Fellowship was established as a multidisciplinary training program in critical care medicine in 1989, and has remained an accredited program since that time. The program accepts applicants who have completed an internal medicine (or combined medicine/pediatrics) residency. The program consists of two years of training, with 18 months of clinical rotations and 6 months research. The program has an established curriculum, but is flexible in accommodating previous training experiences as well as any special training interests.
