The Unit
Description
Miami Valley Hospital (MVH) is an 848 bed community teaching hospital in Dayton, Ohio, and is the flagship clinical site for the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. The facility is an ACS verified Level I Trauma Center (3,000 trauma admissions and 500 emergency surgery admissions per year), a regional Burn Center, and is the only such facility in southwest central Ohio. The MVH Shaw Trauma and Emergency Center was opened in the year 2000, and includes a 41 bed ultramodern medical-surgical ICU, with new medical-surgical general care areas, operating rooms, and a 71 bed Emergency Department. The Hospital is supported by three Eurocopter Dauphin Helicopters (two are located onsite), and MVH is notable for the busiest Emergency Department in the State of Ohio, seeing nearly 100,000 patients annually.
The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Program is a new program which is accredited by the RRC in Surgery, and will include rotations in all disciplines at MVH, and rotations at the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton. Electives will include the Neonatal ICU at MVH (a Level III nursery with neonatal ECMO capability, which will soon be expanding to 60 beds), and the pediatric ICU at the Children’s Medical Center of Dayton.
The Department of Surgery has a free-standing Surgery residency, graduating 7 chief residents each year. In addition, all seven Trauma, Critical Care and Emergency Surgery faculty are SCC Fellowship trained, and have significant clinical and basic science research interests. Dayton is unique in it’s variety of cultural and historical sites and landmarks, and Dayton is the birthplace of aviation. It is also home to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
