Critical Care Fellowship
Our fellowship program provides the training and mentorship for future critical care anesthesiologists to excel clinically and become leaders in education and research.
We are committed to providing each trainee with the highest quality experience and education.
This ACGME-accredited fellowship offers four fellowship positions each year. All fellowship graduates sit for the critical care exam of the American Board of Anesthesiology, and our fellows have compiled a 100% pass rate on their first attempt.
Fellows gain abundant experience and personalized education through the large clinical volume and complex patient population at Nebraska Medicine, UNMC's primary clinical partner.
Included in the clinical experience of our fellowship:
- Surgical Intensive Care Unit
- Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit
- Medical Intensive Care Unit
- Neuro Intensive Care Unit
