Surgical Critical Care Fellowship

Our surgical critical care residency (fellowship) program was first credentialed in 2001 for two fellows per year. The program has, since then, matriculated 16 fellows (i.e., residents). Stony Brook University Hospital has a large volume of critically ill surgical patients and, as part of the mission of Stony Brook Medicine and its commitment to education, our fellowship program was a logical step.

The fellowship has been recognized for its continued excellence by certification through the ACGME and the American Board of Surgery.

The program’s primary clinical site is Stony Brook University Hospital, which is a 603-bed tertiary care facility serving as the only regional (Level I) trauma center for Suffolk County on Long Island, New York, which has a population of 1.5 million residents. It is an academic and regional medical center with a composite mission to provide excellent patient care, education, research, and community service. (Learn more about Stony Brook Trauma Center.)
