Pediatric Surgery Critical Care Fellowships
Here are some of the programs in the United States that offer one-year Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME approved fellowships in Surgical Critical Care (SCC), with specific emphasis on Pediatric Surgical Critical Care. Upon successful completion of the SCC fellowship, trainees are eligible for the Surgical Critical Care Certifying Examination administered by the American Board of Surgery.
Who Can Apply?
Potential applicants may be eligible to participate in these fellowships after completing their third year of General Surgical residency. However, some fellowships are designed only for applicants who have completed General Surgery residency.
Fellowship Programs
Most programs offer one position annually.
