Due to unanticipated circumstances, the Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at Schneider Children's Hospital of the North Shore - Long Island Jewish Medical Center has a vacancy in our Pediatric Critical Care fellowship training program. Our multidisciplinary program currently consists of a 20 bed PICU that admits more than 1500 patients annually, and includes a very active cardiac/cardiothoracic surgical program, ECMO (> 20 patients/year), renal replacement (CVVH-DF), neurosurgical program, and a level 1 pediatric trauma center. Submitted directly to PedsCCM February 25, 2008 The Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine is currently accepting applicants for a first year fellow to begin in July 2008. The Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine offers an ACGME-accredited fellowship training program whose graduates will be eligible and well-prepared for the American Board of Pediatrics Subspecialty certification examination in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. The fellowship seeks to recruit applicants with the requisite passion, dedication, diligence and insight to meaningfully inform the next several decades of pediatric critical care medicine. Fellows will have extensive clinical exposure through rotations in both the Pediatric Intensive Care (PICU) and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Units (CVICU). The PICU provides critical care services for very active programs in medicine, neurosurgery, general surgery, solid organ transplantation, craniofacial reconstruction, orthopedics, otolaryngology and trauma. In the CVICU, fellows care for the full spectrum of pediatric cardiac disease, including more than 500 postoperative patients per year following cardiopulmonary bypass, as well as patients requiring mechanical support including left ventricular assist devices, such as the Berlin Heart, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. During the early research rotations, the pediatric critical care medicine fellow will explore potential research opportunities within the remarkably rich Stanford University community of biologic and non-biologic scientists (e.g. policy, economics, medical humanities, engineering). The program is designed to foster greater responsibility and increasing leadership opportunities concomitant with increasing seniority. We are committed to the creation and maintenance of a fellowship training program that provides a collegial, supportive environment, while still ensuring that fellows are able to realize even their loftiest career aspirations.

A recently funded 14th position has become available in the Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Program at Baylor College of Medicine located at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, Texas beginning July 2007. We would like to invite interested candidates to submit an application. The position is available July 1, 2007, 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.)

Based on prior census and with the expansion in ICU beds we anticipate approximately 1500 patient admissions/year between the two ICU's. The responsibilities and opportunities available to the fellow vary with the individual's background, interests and future goals. In general, the responsibilities encompass direct day-to-day patient care clinical experiences, teaching residents and occasional medical students and physician assistant students, research and selected administrative responsibilities. Approximately 40% of the total training time is involved in direct patient care and the remaining time is focused on academic pursuits. Most of the clinical training occurs in year one, leaving ample time for scholarly activity in years two and three. Please feel free to contact me directly either by phone or email.
