Critical Care

Body

The Critical Care Medicine Section trains emergency medicine residents to deliver high-quality care for critically ill patients across the emergency department and intensive care units. Through exposure to the ED, MICU, SICU, and CVICU, residents develop the skills needed to manage complex, unstable patients in both academic and rural settings where early intervention is critical to outcomes.

Our EM/critical care–trained faculty are actively involved in clinical care, education, and research, including leadership in ECMO and advanced resuscitation techniques. Residents have opportunities to participate in advanced training such as resuscitative transesophageal echocardiography, critical care rotations, and scholarly work in resuscitation science.
