Pediatric Surgical Critical Care Fellowship

The Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital Surgical Critical Care fellowship offers a one-year, ACGME-accredited dynamic learning experience devoted to an intensive clinical training within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.

The mission of the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship is to train the next generation of excellent clinicians and leaders in the management of critically ill surgical children within a multidisciplinary and learner-centric environment. This one fellow program provides the opportunity to care for neonates affected with congenital surgical anomalies, patients afflicted by trauma or a surgical disease, and non-cardiac patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

The trainee will have a unique opportunity of working in the nation’s only 24/7 critical care unit exclusively devoted to congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The expert care provided in this 15-bed unit creates an educational opportunity essential to critical care concepts from this high-risk population that translates to other critically ill populations. Elective rotations in anesthesia, pediatric critical care medicine, and the cardiovascular intensive care unit are available to augment the trainees’ armamentarium in the care of the critically ill surgical child. The trainee also will rotate at our secondary training site, Tampa General Hospital, which will allow a comprehensive exposure to the care of the surgical critically ill adult.

The Johns Hopkins All Children’s Surgical Critical Care Fellowship provides the opportunity for exposure to academic scholarly activities, clinical research methodology, critical literature review, principles of evidence-based medicine, as well as the opportunity for involvement in clinically oriented research projects or quality improvement initiatives. Moreover, the program promotes an inclusive learning environment with a good representation of URiM leaders and learners.

Prerequisites:

Trainees must have completed at least three clinical years in an ACGME-accredited graduate educational program in general surgery as a prerequisite for admission to the program. There is the opportunity for a dedicated research year following training, based on clinical performance.
