The majority of the training will take place at Hartford Hospital, the University of Connecticut’s largest partnered teaching hospital, the region’s only level I trauma center, and one of the largest teaching hospitals in New England. It is the main tertiary referral center and has over 850 beds. The Emergency Department sees over 100,000 patients a year.

Education

This is a clinical fellowship in which fellows will not only be able to train in Hartford’s Emergency Critical Care Unit (ECCU) but will also have an opportunity to rotate through various multispecialty ICUs and and obtain intensive training in ECMO and LVADs. With the newly developed and implemented Emergency Critical Care Unit, fellows will have the opportunity to work alongside fellowship-trained attendings caring for the most critically ill patients. They will be trained in advanced critical care ultrasound, and have an opportunity to further explore interests during elective and research times. In addition, there will be weekly didactics and monthly journal clubs to discuss the latest research in critical care.
