Critical Care Fellowship — Adult
Multidisciplinary
Critical Care Training Program
Curriculum Overview
The Multidisciplinary Critical Care Training Program
(MCCTP) has trained more than 500 Critical Care (CC) physician subspecialists
since its inception in 1963. Its fellowship curricula in anesthesiology,
internal medicine, emergency medicine and surgical critical care
of adult patients are conducted in several primary critical care
facilities. Dedicated faculty provide a comprehensive, state of
the art approach to patient care in a complex environment. The breadth
of clinical experiences in this multidisciplinary program provide
unequaled learning opportunities for critical care fellows.
Our curriculum includes contemporary teaching and learning strategies (see example video to the right) tailored to programatic goals. We train residents in the specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes required to master the six core competencies as outlined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME):
Patient care that is compassionate, appropriate, and effective for the treatment of health problems and the promotion of health
Medical knowledge about established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognate (e.g., epidemiological and social-behavioral) sciences and the application of this knowledge to patient care
Practice-based learning and improvement that involve residents in investigation and evaluation of their own patient care, appraisal and assimilation of scientific evidence, and improvements in patient care
Interpersonal and communication skills that result in effective information exchange and teaming with patients, their families, and other health professionals
Professionalism, as manifested through a commitment to carrying out professional responsibilities, adherence to ethical principles, and sensitivity to a diverse patient population
Systems-based practice, as manifested by actions that demonstrate an awareness of and responsiveness to the larger context and system of health care and the ability to effectively call on system resources to provide care that is of optimal value
The University Health Center hospitals have received
accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education (ACGME) for all CC fellowships. This allows preparation
and eligibility for 20 internal medicine, two internal medicine/emergency
medicine, two surgical and two anesthesiology trainees each year
for subspecialty examinations in critical care.
