Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine The Critical Care faculty at the University of Chicago have collaborated to create a multi-disciplinary Critical Care fellowship that affords trainees access to the entire scope of Critical Care medicine practiced at the University of Chicago. The clinical training program is designed to be tailored to the needs of individual fellows, but will incorporate clinical time sufficient to fulfill ABA requirements for Critical Care board eligibility. Fellows have the opportunity to participate in patient care, supervise residents, and teach medical students in all of the intensive care units at the University of Chicago Medical Center, including the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, the Medical Intensive Care unit, the Burn Unit, the Neurology/Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit, the Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit, and the Cardiac Surgery ICU. Up to 3 months of elective time can be spent participating in clinical or basic science research projects. A second year of combined research or clinical training is available. The clinical and non-clinical curriculum of the fellowship has deliberately been made as flexible as possible, to allow fellows to design a Critical Care training curriculum that will best prepare them for their subsequent career. A generic fellowship, incorparating two months MICU, one month SICU, two months CV ICU, two months Neuro ICU, two months Burn Unit, and three months of elective time is available. The nationally and internationally known faculty who participate in the training of critical care fellows include the following:
Board eligibility/certification in Anesthesiology is required. A curriculum vitae and three letters of recommendation are also required for application. The University of Chicago is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
