Surgical Critical Care Fellowship
The HonorHealth Surgical Critical Care Fellowship is designed to train fellows competent in trauma and critical care for ACS Level I or II trauma centers. The fellowship program is tailored to provide a learning experience aimed at developing the knowledge and skills to function as an attending surgical intensivist.
The program will educate the fellows on all aspects of clinical practice: encompassing trauma, emergency general surgery and surgical critical care focused on the management of the critically ill surgical patient.
We want to develop surgical intensivists that:
- Are devoted to providing outstanding clinical care with a focus on continual improvement in quality
- Demonstrate a commitment to advancing the field of critical care through clinical or other research
- Move on to become leaders of their respective institutions in administration and delivery of intensive care
- Commit to providing the safest care possible to patients
