Submitted directly to PedsCCM November 20, 2012 Batson Children’s Hospital Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Batson Children’s Hospital, at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, is Mississippi’s only children’s hospital, providing care in more than 30 pediatric specialties to children throughout Mississippi and in the region. The hospital has approximately 9000 admissions per year. Pediatric Critical Care Services admit approximately 1100 patients each year, are expected to have 250-300 congenital heart pump cases in 2012 and are actively growing. These services are growing as we expand into our new 30 bed unit with plans in place for a new pediatric tower with new cardiac critical care space. Batson Children’s Hospital has recently started both heart and kidney transplant programs with plans for liver transplant soon. Additionally there are active pediatric surgical services including: general surgery, orthopedics, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, facial reconstruction, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, and trauma. We are the only Level I Pediatric Trauma and only pediatric bone marrow transplant center in Mississippi. Dr. Mary Taylor, an expert in congenital cardiac critical care and extracorporeal life support, heads the Critical Care division. The division currently has eight BE/BC pediatric intensivists with a wide background of experience and is actively recruiting at least two more. The division runs both the pediatric medical/surgical ICU and the pediatric cardiac ICU. In addition, the division faculty supervises the hospital wide ECLS program and pediatric ground transport. They have taken an active role in resident education, establishing organ transplant policies and hospital administration. The Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship has been structured to prepare professionals for a career in critical care medicine by training them to be excellent physicians and leaders with a wide breadth of exposure. Fellows will achieve this by providing direct patient care, educating junior residents and participation in a curriculum which includes fellow led conferences, didactic sessions and simulation. Fellows will participate in either basic science or clinical research along with a member of the University of Mississippi Medical Center faculty and will have an opportunity to present this research at a national conference during their training. The fellowship received AGME accreditation in October of 2012. Because of this timing the fellowship is not participating in the NRMP Match this year. We are currently seeking 2 fellows to start July, 2013. For more information about the Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship, including how to apply, please contact either Mary Taylor, MD (mbtaylor@umc.edu) or Craig Hallstrom, MD (ckhallstrom@umc.edu).

Submitted to PedsCCM April 9, 2012 Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Translational Research in Pediatric Critical Care MedicineSection of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine at Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston, Texas. The NIH-funded training grant “Research Training in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine” provides support for postdoctoral fellows (M.D. and/or Ph.D.) to establish and/or solidify key areas of research that are currently under-investigated in this unique patient population relating to the pathogenesis of critical illness in the developing host, and the effect of critical illness on development. The fellowship is one (1) year in length. Fellows train with senior academician-mentors whose area of service or research link to pediatric critical care medicine. Research areas include inflammation, thrombosis and hemostasis, cardiovascular sciences, outcomes research, ethics and informatics. The goal of this program is to prepare both M.D. and Ph.D. fellows for careers as “translational scientists” for this unique patient population. This is a great opportunity for Ph.D. post-doctoral fellows to acquire new skills and knowledge with the goal of applying them to a non-traditional area (i.e. children and critical illness, with high potential for future funding). It is also ideal for the M.D. fellow who needs further support and training as they solidify their research expertise on the way toward their first K award. Applicants must be citizens or permanent resident aliens of the United States. Positions are available for individuals to begin July 1, 2012 until June 30, 2013. Limited positions may also be available after this. Interested individuals should submit a curriculum vitae, letter of interest, and letters of support from three (3) references to: Lara S.

Submitted to PedsCCM directly January 7, 2010 Pediatric Injury Research Training Program
The Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center and the University of Washington are offering post-doctoral training in Pediatric Injury Research, with positions available summer, 2010. This training program is funded through a National Institute of Child Health and Human Development T-32 grant.
The goal of this training program is to prepare investigators to specialize in pediatric injury research and to be productive academic scientists and scholars in this field. We define injury research broadly to include both intentional and unintentional injury mechanisms, and research on the risk factors and causes of injuries and prevention strategies, the acute and chronic care of injured patients, and the outcomes from trauma, including interventions to return the injured individual to their full potential and avoid future injury.
The Program includes coursework, seminars and an intensively mentored research experience. We will provide our trainees with methodological knowledge and practical skills for conducting high quality interdisciplinary research in an environment that infuses them with the excitement of research, and nurtures their early career development. We believe that our graduates will become research leaders prepared to conduct interdisciplinary research using the highest ethical standards and capitalizing on state of the art research methods.
The Training Program is two years long, with the option of a third year for exceptionally productive trainees. A Master of Public Health or Master of Science degree is available as part of the Training Program.
Post-doctoral level scholars are welcome from all health professions, and specialties within those professions including pediatrics, surgery, urology, rehabilitation medicine, emergency medicine, anesthesia/critical care, psychiatry, psychology, epidemiology, health services, public health, social work, nursing and health economics.
Interested individuals should contact Frederick Rivara, MD, MPH at fpr@uw.edu or (206) 744-9449 to obtain application materials. Applications must be received by March 1, 2010.

Mott Children's Hospital provides a comprehensive range of pediatric medical and surgical disciplines as it is a major quaternary, referral childrens hospital serving the state of Michigan, northwest Ohio, and northeast Indiana. Clinical training occurs in two intensive care settings: a 22 bed PICU with ~1200 annual admissions and a 15 bed Pediatric CardioThoracic Unit (PCTU) with ~750 annual open heart surgeries. Fellows will train in a multidisciplinary, family-centered PICU with a strong focus on quality initiatives and patient safety for which it was named the Clinical Program of the Year for the entire University Health System. The Division of Critical Care Medicine is staffed by 9 full time, board-certified pediatric critical care physicians with a variety of expertise in critical care research. In 2012, the C. S. Mott Children's Hospital will move into a new, 1.1 million square foot structure that will include a 12-story inpatient care tower which will increase the total bed capacity of the PICU and PCTU to 30 beds each. Opportunities for pursuing scholarly activity exist over a broad range of biologic themes and research strategies which include but are not limited to: basic science investigation within the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Laboratory located within the University's Immunology Program http://www.med.umich.edu/immprog/faculty/index.htm and housed in the state-of-the-art Biomedical Sciences Research Building with opportunities for fellows to be supported on a T32 training grant; clinical research training supported by our CTSA-sponsored, Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) http://www.michr.umich.edu/index.html of which the Program Director is Associate Director; education training provided through the Medical Education Scholars Program http://www.med.umich.edu/meded/programs/mesp.htm; and health service research supported by a T32 training grant within the Child Health Evaluation And Research (CHEAR) Unit https://www.med.umich.edu/ott/mott/research/chear.html.
