Program Overview
In addition to the full spectrum of pediatric critical illness, our program, which was founded in 1989, has a robust cardiac intensive care service, a section within the Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. Our division and fellows also manage all extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and cardiac mechanical-assist patients. We also have the opportunity to work with world-class stem cell and organ transplantation programs.
Fellows participate in clinical rotations for pediatric intensive care patients with cardiac disease, both medical and surgical; oncologic disease including stem cell transplantation; trauma; lung disease; solid organ transplantation; intestine transplantation; extracorporeal support; and cardiac mechanical assist.
During the first year, the emphasis is on clinical training with rotations in the pediatric ICU (PICU), cardiac ICU and anesthesia. In year two, fellows participate in ongoing clinical training, but their focus shifts to scholarship activities. Fellows can pursue clinical, basic science translational, or outcomes research. They may also choose to pursue a master's degree in the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine. (Approximately half of our fellows choose to pursue an MPH; the other half do basic science or clinical research.)
In the third year, the focus continues on scholarship and preparing for transition to an academic career. Senior fellows rotate as "acting" attendings in the PICU and provide consultation for pediatric trauma patients at Harborview Medical Center.
