Clinical rotations allow an exposure to a wide range of diverse pathology and a high acuity of care. Within our ICU curriculum, our fellows are exposed to and gain confidence in managing complex patient care including but not limited to: ECMO, ICU, care of solid organ transplant recipients and obstetrical critical care.
We have an overnight in-house ICU call, allowing fellows to gain unique insight and experience to patient care with our in-house nocturnist ICU team.
