Fellowship Program
Clinical Responsibilities
Our program is designed to be a two-year fellowship in Trauma, Burn, Emergency General Surgery and Critical Care. There is an emphasis on both clinical and basic research opportunities. The trauma fellow will function primarily as a junior attending working as an integral part of the trauma team. Senior attending surgeon supervision is available at all times for both the fellow and resident staff. There are approximately 4-6 nights of call per month with significant segments of time blocked out for academic pursuits. There is an opportunity to work both with the Trauma Burn ICU team and the Surgical ICU team. Clinical experiences are vast with advanced ICU monitoring, ECMO, administrative duties, and multidisciplinary team rounds.
Teaching Responsibilities
The trauma fellow will be involved in the teaching and supervision of residents and medical students. Weekly ICU conferences will provide an opportunity for problem based and didactic teaching. The fellow will also become involved with the ATLS course instruction.
