Developing the next generation of clinical, academic, and research leaders in pediatric critical care
The Critical Care Fellowship at Cincinnati Children’s is an ACGME-accredited three-year program dedicated to training fellows in state-of-the-art pediatric critical care medicine.
Training occurs in our 48-bed PICU and 36-bed CICU located in our brand-new state of the art critical care building completed November 2021. Fellows take care of over 2,750 admissions a year. Clinical supervision and education are provided by 16 board-certified critical care subspecialists and 8 critical care / cardiology subspecialists, as well as a vast array of pertinent subspecialists and subspecialty surgeons.
In addition, our program provides fellows with many opportunities for non-clinical scholarly activities, including training in basic science, clinical science, and translational research that spans bench to bedside, quality improvement and informatics, simulation and education, and advocacy. Opportunities are also available to pursue advanced degrees through the University of Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Children’s is a top hospital in the country for pediatric care. Many of our subspecialties are ranked in the Top 10 of their respective fields. Supporting all of these subspecialties is the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit – caring for children from all over the hospital, all over the community, all over the country, and all over the world. Our critical care fellows are vital to the process of care at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
