The Critical Care Anesthesiology Fellowship provides physicians with comprehensive training in interdisciplinary intensive care unit (ICU) care, critical organ failure support, emergency response and resuscitation, resource allocation and triage, and the dynamic care of the hospital’s sickest patients.

Under the leadership of Thomas Jan, MD, MPH, program director, and Anjali P. Dogra, MD, MHS, associate program director, the Division of Critical Care Anesthesiology offers this one-year program, under the auspices by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Fellowship Clinical Training

Rotations reflect multiple facets of critical care, including the management of specific organ failures and the care of patients recovering from cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, major surgery or complications of major surgery, and organ transplantation, as well as those with neurological conditions and acute or chronic illness.

Clinical care activities take place at NYU Langone’s Tisch Hospital and Kimmel Pavilion and NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn.

Fellows participate in the following rotations:

• three months in the surgical ICU
• three months in the cardiovascular ICU
• one month in the medical ICU
• two months in the neurosurgical ICU, or one month in the neurosurgical ICU and one month in the trauma ICU at NYU Langone Hospital—Brooklyn
• three months of elective time, which can include echocardiography, nephrology, infectious diseases, radiology, research, or palliative care

Fellowship Didactic Program and Simulation Training

The fellowship’s broad educational program includes a comprehensive lecture series, research exposure, team leadership skills development, and supervisory and teaching experience.

• weekly Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative Care, and Pain Medicine Grand Rounds
• weekly departmental problem-based learning and improvement (PBLI)
• weekly Anesthesiology Critical Care Conferences (including core fellowship lecture series, PBLI, and seminars)
• monthly alternating journal club and morbidity and mortality conferences
• oral and written board preparation activities
• multiple progressive NYSIM Center simulation lab sessions

Career Preparation for Fellows

Our mission is to develop the next generation of leaders and educators in critical care medicine. Trainees learn advanced clinical skills, but equally important is the development of managerial and collaborative skills and mentored development of educational and investigative acumen.

Career preparation is an integral part of our fellowship. Our faculty offer mentoring, exposure to multiple and diverse research opportunities, and participation in the department’s ongoing quality improvement activities. Fellows have the opportunity to teach medical students and residents.
