The Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Program at Baylor College of Medicine has recently received funding for an additional fellowship training position beginning July 2005. We would like to invite interested candidates to submit an application.
The position is available July 1, 2005, but we will also entertain applications from individuals who wish to begin training after that date. It is a great opportunity for the individual who has recently realized that Pediatric Critical Care Medicine "is for them." We are seeking individuals dedicated to a career in academic medicine who wish to gain skills in clinical medicine, teaching and research.
Our program is located at the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas. The primary clinical training occurs in the 32-bed multi-disciplinary Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and 36-bed Progressive Care Unit (PCU) at Texas Children's Hospital. The Texas Children's Hospital is a 456-bed freestanding facility affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine and is the largest pediatric hospital in the United States. At present the PICU has approximately 1500 admissions a year with 600-800 patients requiring assisted ventilation or other advanced cardiorespiratory support. The Critical Care Section is also responsible for the administration of the 36-bed Progressive Care Unit which also has about 1500 admissions per year. The PCU is specifically designed for children who require long-term technology support, transition to home for children with residual PICU morbidities, and the management of children who require more intensive physician and nursing support than the acute care units can provide.
With the growth of TCH there are many exciting learning opportunities for Fellows. These include an expanded Bone Marrow Transport Unit, establishment of a Pediatric Lung Transplant program (which already joins busy services in kidney, heart, and liver transplantation), greater space for both the emergency center and the operating rooms, and the development of the Pediatric Heart Center. The Pediatric Heart Center deserves specific mention, as the Perioperative Cardiothoracic service is one of the largest in the country with almost 700 surgical procedures a year. The Critical Care fellows participate in the care of these patients throughout their fellowship. We have a close working/educational relationship with the Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery sections with shared conferences, experiences and resource.
Fellows receive extensive didactic educational experiences including an Evidence-Based Medicine conference series within the Section. In addition, the Department of Pediatrics and Baylor College of Medicine have an expanded commitment to fellow education. The specifically designed program "Fundamentals of Clinical Investigation" encompassing the basics of academic medicine and the Annual Department of Pediatrics Fellow's Day are examples of such endeavors.
Current research in the section includes the nutritional requirements of the critically ill pediatric patients, thrombosis in sepsis, developmental aspects of inflammation and immune function, long-term follow-up of critically ill children, and outcomes analysis. With formal ties to the School of Public Health, the Baylor College of Medicine Center for Ethics, Medicine, and Public Policy, the Children's Nutrition and Research Center, and informal ties to a number of basic investigative and educational groups throughout the medical center we are able to position our fellows in some very innovative and exciting research and/or educational opportunities. We actively assist the fellow in identifying interested, committed mentors to maximize the likelihood that the research is educational and productive for all involved.
We will consider applications from individuals completing the PL-III year prior to the onset of the fellowship. Graduates of foreign medical schools must have a valid certification from the ECFMG and be able to successfully apply for an educational VISA. In addition, it is expected that applicants will successfully obtain physician licensure from the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners, if not before beginning the program, soon into the first year. (Fellows may need to apply for a temporary "physician-in-training" permit if they are not fully eligible for physician licensure by the commencement of training.)

First Year Fellowship Position in Pediatric Critical Care at Duke University
We have an open first year position in our training program in Pediatric Critical Care. The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Duke Children's Hospital is a 16 bed multidisciplinary unit that cares for a wide variety of children with medical and surgical illness. The unit was fully renovated in 2001 and physical expansion of the unit is anticipated in the next year to accommodate more than 1500 annual admissions. Pediatric Critical Care Fellows supervise pediatric residents and pediatric nurse practitioners in the care of all patients in the PICU. They, in turn, are supervised by pediatric intensivists with backgrounds in both Pediatrics and Anesthesiology. The fellows also work directly with pediatric surgical subspecialitsts in the care of children following general, cardiac, neurological, craniofacial, otolaryngologic, transplant, orthopedic and plastic surgery. Fellows obtain extensive experience in the management of patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, high frequency oscillatory and jet ventilation, inhaled nitric oxide, continuous renal replacement therapy, pharmacologic circulatory support and airway management. Divisional conferences, held 4 days a week, are designed to address educational objectives in clinical, research, and EMB topics. Opportunities exist for dual training in critical care and either Pediatric Cardiology or Anesthesiology.
Approximately two thirds of the fellowship program is devoted to training in research. The divisional faculty is made up of established clinical and laboratory investigators with research interests in respiratory physiology and mechanical ventilation, pulmonary cellular biology, pharmacology, neuroprotection, cardiopulmonary bypass physiology, transfusion medicine and human patient simulation. Traditionally, strong research collaborations have existed within the Department of Pediatrics between the Division of Pediatric Critical Care and the Divisions of Pediatric Pulmonology, Cardiology, and Neonatology. Likewise, previous fellows have worked with research mentors in the Departments of Anesthesiology, Cardiovascular Surgery, Adult Critical Care Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, and the Multidisciplinary Neuroprotection Laboratory. We are fortunate to have a strong relationship with the Duke Clinical Research Institute which offers both a Master of Health Sciences in Clinical Research as well as a non-degree course of study for physician-scientists. We have successfully integrated the Masters program into a four year fellowship curriculum for selected individuals.

The Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Program at The University of
Michigan is inviting applications from individuals who are seeking
training options for a career in pediatric critical care medicine.
With a recent expansion of the academic mission of the division,
fellowship positions are available for July 1, 2004 and 2005.
Our program is centered in Mott Children's Hospital at the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI. The primary clinical training occurs in a
18 bed multidisciplinary intensive care unit and a level 1 Trauma Burn
Unit. The Pediatric Intensive Care unit cares for approximately 1300
patients annually. Additional time is spent in the Cardiothoracic
Intensive Care Unit that provides pre and post-operative care for one of
the largest pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgical programs in the country.
Fellows will gain substantial exposure to both medical and surgical
cases and gain extensive ECMO experience. Fellows will receive extensive
didactic educational experiences including a conference series within
the Division.
The training program is committed to providing protected time to allow
each fellow to pursue their required scholarly activity. Therefore,
fellows are expected to engage in either basic science or
clinical/translational research. The division's basic science research
program is part of a recently established Immunobiology/Inflammation
