Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program
The Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) Fellowship at the Medical College of Georgia at 桃色视频 provides a broad, multidisciplinary educational program developed to train pediatricians to become successful and competent critical care clinicians, educators, and researchers.
The Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship is an ACGME accredited three-year program for board eligible/certified physicians in Pediatrics or Medicine-Pediatrics. The program is accredited for 3 PICU fellows and matches one trainee per year.
OUR PROGRAM HAS A DUAL FOCUS
- To provide the clinical exposure and opportunities to support acquiring and refining expertise in managing critically ill children in a multidisciplinary pediatric critical care unit.
- To provide significant exposure and training in basic science, clinical and/or translational research that serves as the foundation for an independent research career and fosters intellectual curiosity and creativity.
