The CMU Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program application has been submitted to the ACGME and we hope to receive initial accreditation from ACGME by May 2025. We will update this website with more information as it becomes available. 

Mission

At the heart of our critical care fellowship lies a profound commitment to excellence in healthcare, minimizing disparities, and improving care for everyone, regardless of their background. We are dedicated to training highly skilled physicians who will provide extraordinary care to the critical care patients in our community. We strive to minimize inequality in care across our vulnerable communities. We aspire to create fellows equipped to face the challenges of an ever-evolving medical landscape. The ultimate goal is to build patient-centered care supported by evidence-based practice and a compassionate approach.

Program goals

The aim of CMU’s Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Program aligns with our mission.

  1. Provide robust training, where trainees gain exceptional hands-on experience managing a wide range of challenging clinical cases, including but not limited to complex shock, organ dysfunctions, and emergency situations, all based on evidence-based practices.
  2. Provide a multidisciplinary approach that empowers learners to develop skills for life-long learning by acquiring knowledge from highly trained experts in the medical field to achieve better care and outcomes.
  3. Emphasize training compassionate leaders to tackle the challenges of healthcare system delivery and build a brighter and healthier future for our patients and trainees.
  4. Encourage fellows to invest in research activities and quality improvement projects that directly address gaps and deficiencies in care delivery and create solutions to achieve better patient outcomes.
  5. Build a highly competent team of trainees in clinical and procedural skills to minimize adverse events and improve the outcomes for our vulnerable population.
