Fellowship in Emergency Critical Care

The changing landscape of health care has resulted in an increase in the delivery of critical care in the emergency department. Although the emergency department length of stay is brief compared with the total length of hospitalization, physiologic determinants of outcome may be established before an ICU admission. The BWH fellowship in critical care focuses on the acute care needs of the sickest patients seen in the emergency department.
