Emergency Medicine Critical Care Fellowship
The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Emergency Medicine-Critical Care Fellowship is currently accepting applications for the next academic year (July 2010).
"The fellowship is multi-disciplinary with participation from the Anesthesia, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, and Medicine (Pulmonary/Critical Care) Departments. The goal of the fellowship is to produce a multi-disciplinary critical care physician with the capacity to work in either a surgical or medical intensive care unit. Clinical rotations include the Medical Intensive Care Unit, the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, and the Trauma Intensive Care Unit. The fellowship is 2 years in length with 11 months in the intensive care unit setting, 1 month of critical care electives (ECHO, renal replacement therapy/nutritional support, Respiratory Care), and 12 months of emergency medicine based critical care which includes shifts in the role of EM attending.
The fellowship includes yearly attendance at the Society of Critical Care Medicine Conference and the option exists for participation in other critical care and emergency medicine conferences dependent on the research activity of the individual. While all fellows will have ample opportunity for multiple research pursuits, all must have a minimum of at least one first-author academic project with submission for presentation at the Society of Critical Care Medicine. Other opportunities, such as participation in the Beth Israel Deaconess Cardiac Arrest Center, are available for all fellows.
At the completion of the fellowship, all fellows will take the European Written and Oral Board Examination.
Any candidates should submit a CV and personal statement to Mike Donnino (mdonnino@bidmc.harvard.edu) by December 5th, 2009. At a minimum, your personal statement should include your overall career goals and reasons for pursuing a critical care fellowship.
