The program utilizes the guidelines established by the Society of Critical Care Medicine in an effort to ensure a well -rounded exposure to all aspects of the discipline of surgical critical care. We are committed to producing well-rounded leaders who, in turn, will influence the next generation of care-providers by leading by example in the clinical setting, and providing quality education and scholarship.
The Surgical Critical Care (SCC) fellowship is based at our medical complex which includes: the Augusta University Medical Center, 478-bed adult hospital; a medical office building with more than 80 outpatient clinics in one setting; the Critical Care Center, housing the region's only Level I Trauma Center; and a 154-bed Children's Hospital of Georgia, which includes the region's only Level 3 Neonatal ICU and Pediatric Trauma Center. GRUMC has served as the regional Level I trauma center for more than 20 years, and currently provides trauma care for 15 counties in Georgia and several in South Carolina.
