The goal of the fellowship program is to provide an educational setting in which the trainees may gain concentrated experience in caring for the critically ill (resuscitation, emergency management of life-threatening illness or injury, and long-term support for single or multi-system organ failure), administrative direction of the intensive care unit, development of educational programs and teaching skills, and research.

 

The trainees will learn the specific content (knowledge and procedures) by direct patient care under the guidance of the faculty. They will also participate in managing the units, including bed allocation, quality assurance monitoring, brain death certification, decisions regarding limiting therapy (resuscitation status), and nursing care.
