Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship
The Pediatric Critical Care Medicine fellowship program is the first and only in this subspecialty in Arizona. The fellowship program received ACGME accreditation in March 2011. The first two fellowships positions will start in July 2012 and applicants will be selected through the resident matching program.
The fellowship is designed to prepare you for a career in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine as both an excellent clinician and an academic thinker.
The goals and objectives are achieved through direct patient care, supervision of other trainees, and a comprehensive curriculum that includes conferences, didactic lectures, courses, hands on learning activities and workshops.
Special expertise in ethics, extracorporeal life support, outcomes research and integrative medicine also exist within the division.
Collaborations with the University of Arizona Medical School in Phoenix, as well as other local institutions, provide ample research opportunities.
