About
The year spent with the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship will be an educational and growing experience for the fellow. The fellow will be the central contact person for the residents, nurses, attendings, consultants and other ancillary services. Besides mastering the clinical knowledge of intensive care medicine, the fellow will grow as a teacher, administrator, arbitrator, and researcher. Due to the nature of critical care medicine, difficult political and ethical issues will be part of the daily experience. At some point during the year, the fellow will begin to perform in the role of an attending. This metamorphosis in role comes from gaining knowledge, respect from colleagues and self-confidence. We hope that the program will continue to train young surgeons to become dedicated surgical intensivists who will continue to carry on the spirit of teaching as well as to strive for improving patient care.
The University of 喵喵直播 Surgical Critical Care Program strives to develop a comprehensive program to train surgeons to:
- Become clinically competent in managing complex adult critical care patients and performing the procedures necessary to administer excellent patient care.
- Develop a broad medical knowledge base in all body systems and their interactions, and to be able to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Develop the leadership and communication skills necessary to organize, conduct and direct care in the intensive care unit.
- Communicate with family and assist with decision-making regarding ethical issues.
- Search for knowledge, to develop the practice of lifelong learning and to use evidence-based medicine to administer care and improve practice.
- Develop an inquiring mind and be active in research.
- Develop physician leaders to provide comprehensive, but cost effective care, and who will seek opportunities to pilot the future of critical care medicine.
The University of 喵喵直播 Surgical Critical Care Fellowship has been accredited by the Residency Review Committee since 1993. Dr. Mihae Yu initiated the SCC Fellowship Program and was the Program Director until 2019. Dr. David Inouye became Program Director in January 2020. The fellowship program has three ACGME approved fellow positions for twelve months in length.
Core Faculty & Staff
Attendings assigned as the core teaching staff to the surgical intensive care unit are physicians related to the area of surgery and/or critical care who have been trained in a formal fellowship and have passed or are eligible for critical care boards. They are dedicated teachers with the purpose of communicating knowledge and promoting critical thinking. They are also responsible for maintaining expertise in their own knowledge base, are involved in research projects, and resolve controversies through science and research. By practicing quality of care, as well as demonstrating an ethical and humane approach to the critically ill, attendings serve as role models for young physicians in training.
