The 12-month fellowship is designed to provide surgical critical care fellows with an education in the principles and practice of state-of-the art trauma and surgical critical care according to medical knowledge and patient care, practice-based learning and improvement, systems-based practice, professionalism, and interpersonal and communication skills. The fellowship will allow fellows to develop proficiency in the management of critically-ill and injured patients, develop necessary qualifications to supervise surgical critical care units, and to conduct scholarly activities in trauma/surgical critical care. The goal of our Surgical Critical Care Fellowship program is to prepare the fellows to function as qualified practitioners at the advanced level of performance expected of Board-certified sub-specialists. The ACGME approved our Surgical Critical Care Fellowship in March 2016 for four (4) fellowship positions, although we currently have funding for three (3). The Division of Trauma, Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery faculty is a diverse group including surgical critical emergency medicine and pulmonary critical care intensivists, and 14 of the 15 faculty are Surgical Critical Care Board Certified. There are 48 medical students in each class that rotate on our campus starting in their 2nd year. Our surgeons also serve as Texas A & M Health Science Center College of Medicine faculty and are heavily involved in medical student education. The surgeons in the Division of Trauma, Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery have always been closely involved in general surgery resident education (9 residents a year), as well as research and quality initiatives.
Currently, our surgical critical care faculty provides care for trauma, acute care surgery, general surgery, solid organ transplant, heart and lung transplant, cardiothoracic, neurosurgery, orthopedic and orthopedic spinal surgery, ENT, oral surgery, OB-GYN, and plastic surgery. There are 123 total ICU beds, 57 of which are surgical ICU beds.
