Critical Care
Academic Practice Track
Academic Practice Track
Introduction: The Critical Care practice track focuses on providing the foundation needed to prepare residents for a critical care fellowship program. This program will require additional rotations in critical care during elective months to help develop residents to become competitive fellowship candidates. These clinical rotations will familiarize residents with the principles of critical care, such as mechanical ventilation, point of care ultrasound, ARDS, advanced heart failure, mechanical circulatory support, and management of patients in shock with multi organ failure.
Objective: Upon completion of the track, participants will have additional clinical exposure to critical care allowing for early competency in the principles of mechanical ventilation, point of care ultrasound (RUSH protocol), and resuscitation of complex critically ill patients. The additional rotations will help residents meet ACGME requirements for critical care fellowship.
