The Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program at Tufts Medical Center offers a 1-year training program for applicants looking for robust critical care training.
The goal of the Critical Care Medicine Fellowship is to prepare certified internal medicine physicians, who have already completed an IM fellowship, for careers in clinical or academic Critical Care Medicine. The candidate will rotate thru different intensive care units as they learn the nuances of patient care in each of these settings. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures that each trainee is comfortable taking care of critically ill patients in any setting. At the end of the year of training, candidates will be ready to lead a multidisciplinary critical care team and will be eligible to sit for the Critical Care Medicine board certification exam.
This training opportunity can be tailored to the particular goals of the candidate and their training history. At a minimum, candidates will become comfortable with procedures including bronchoscopy, intubation, pleural procedures, and vascular access. Critical care ultrasound skills are emphasized as part of routine patient care and in procedures. Exposure to and training in managing mechanical circulatory support devices, including Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), is built into the year of training.
Candidates must have completed an accredited ACGME Internal Medicine fellowship and have interest in working in an academic environment. Outstanding teaching skills are essential as the Medical Center is the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine.
We offer competitive compensation with a comprehensive benefits package commensurate with a trainee's post graduate level.
