Critical Care Medicine
Education Overview
The Children's Hospital (TCH) in Denver, Colorado is a free-standing children's hospital affiliated with the University of Colorado Denver (UCD). We offer a pediatric critical care fellowship designed for board-eligible pediatricians planning a career devoted to the care of the critically ill child.
Residents rotating through the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) are exposed to a diverse patient population, both culturally and medically. With approximately 1,000 admissions each year to the PICU from the catchment area of seven states, about half are surgical (rgeneral, orthopedic, neurosurgery, ENT, trauma and transplant) and half are medical (including common pediatric problems, such as sepsis to the more obscure metabolic/genetic diseases). Residents are actively involved in the management of each patient and are thereby exposed not only to the basic principles of pediatric critical care medicine but also to the use of cutting-edge therapies in the care of the critically ill child.
