Welcome from our program director
Thank you for your interest in HCA Medical City Plano Hospital's Surgical Critical Care Fellowship. Our program is designed to build the next generation of Surgical Critical Care Surgeons. The one-year ACGME-accredited program is to train fellows to provide timely surgical critical care, to resuscitate and provide excellent trauma and emergency critical care. Our program gives rotations in surgical and medical intensive care units plus electives in Trauma/Burn Unit, Cardiac Intensive Care/ECMO, Neuro Critical Care and Medical Intensive Care Unit.
Program overview
Welcome to the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Program at Medical City Plano, Plano TX.
We offer a one-year critical care fellowship that is focused on intense clinical experience. Our goals are to prepare the surgical intensivist to practice safe critical care with sound judgment, and to offer the education needed to pass the Certifying Examination in Surgical Critical Care of the American Board of Surgery.
The philosophy of the MCP Surgical Critical Care Fellowship program is to provide a setting in which advanced, highly skilled, adult education can take place. The faculty provides the opportunity for the fellow to not only acquire an in-depth knowledge of surgical critical care but also to develop both academically and professionally.
We are committed to providing excellent clinical exposure, as well as directed, expert instruction, promoting self-directed education, and fostering the refinement of the fellow's academic pursuits.
We provide process improvement education, multidisciplinary rounding experience, research possibilities, professional development and teaching opportunity. Our block schedule includes 8 months in our surgical ICU and 4 months of elective.
Applications are accepted and reviewed through the Surgical critical care and Acute care surgery Fellowship Application Service (SAFAS)
