Program Overview
This is a one year, ACGME approved, Fellowship in Surgical Critical Care. The Critical Care portion of the Fellowship is centered upon nine months at University Medical Center New Orleans (formerly Charity Hospital), the regional Level I Trauma Center serving southern Louisiana. The 24-bed Trauma/Surgery ICU provides a large experience in the Critical Care of Trauma and General Surgery. This experience is rounded out with two month-long electives available in Cardio-thoracic ICU, Burn Surgery/ICU, Pediatric ICU, and Medical ICU/Anesthesia. The fellowship also offers a strong experience in operative Trauma Surgery, with the fellows being on call weekly at the Trauma Center, a busy Level 1 academic trauma center with a 20% penetrating trauma rate.
The teaching faculty consists of nine Critical Care-boarded surgical intensivists, with varied backgrounds. There are two positions a year available. Applicants must have successfully completed a General Surgery Residency program prior to starting.
