The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship program at Augusta University is an American Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) accredited, intensive 12-month residency program intended to prepare graduates for a career in either academic or private practice surgical critical care.
While the care of the most severely ill or injured surgical patient requires the cooperation of multiple specialties and disciplines, surgeons with advanced knowledge and training are the vital central element. This program will provide experience in surgical critical care that will train surgeons to assume a leadership role in the care of critically ill patients and be prepared to assume an administrative role in managing a busy surgical or trauma ICU. The fellows will obtain experience in the multidisciplinary care of sick surgical patients and exposure to all elements of the domain of critical care knowledge and related procedures
Our ultimate goal is to fully prepare our graduates to be not only superb clinicians, but also excellent academic teachers and thought leaders in their future institutions.
Applicants must have successfully completed residency in an ACGME-accredited graduate medical education program in the disciplines of general surgery, neurosurgery, urology or OBGYN, and be eligible to take the American Board of Surgery qualifying examination. Board certification is also accepted. Successful completion of the program will qualify the fellow to sit for the examination for the "Certificate of Added Qualifications in Surgical Critical Care" from the American Board of Surgery. All applications are reviewed by the program director.
