Critical Care Medicine

The Critical Care Medicine Division is a multispecialty team of intensivists at the University of Florida (UF) Health in Gainesville, Florida.

Our critical care anesthesiologists provide care for some of the most acutely-ill patients in the United States. We manage 6 intensive care units (ICU) at UF Health Shands. These ICUs offer extensive training for our students, residents, physician assistants, and fellows.

Our coverage areas include:

• 24-bed general surgical trauma ICU
• 24-bed transplant ICU
• 24-bed cardiac surgical ICU
• 24-bed thoracic lung transplant/ECMO ICU
• 18-bed vascular ICU
• 27-bed burn/soft tissue unit

Our Mission

Our belief is that undivided, multidisciplinary critical care medicine is optimal.

Hence, we work very hard to maintain the multispecialty nature of our faculty and units. We currently manage approximately 86 intensive care beds in our institution.

As members of the UF College of Medicine faculty, we are fully integrated into the clinical, academic, investigative, and administrative functions of the University of Florida.

Residents & Fellows

Working at UF Health, residents and fellows acquire a broad range of experience and the confidence of being well-qualified and prepared to serve in any hospital. Anesthesiology residents rotate though many of our ICUs. Our units are staffed by 12 critical care medicine faculty and we work closely with critical care medicine surgeons and other critical care medicine staff. Each of our surgical ICU teams is staffed by an attending physician with special qualifications in critical care medicine. Residents, fellows and senior physician assistants provide extender functions in each of the units and are integrated with our resident teams. Our fellowship program accepts up to 7 critical care medicine fellows and 1 combined cardiothoracic critical care fellow per year.

Research

Research interests in the Critical Care Medicine Division include respiratory and cardiovascular physiology, disease state-based outcomes, traumatic brain injury, nutrition, renal physiology, and trauma. We are involved with and have NIH funding for several projects.

We are proud of our history of mentoring junior faculty, fellows, and residents, as well as our ability to find other mentors and collaborators from within the medical school university. Thus, research areas we are not involved in can be developed with assistance from colleagues within the university.
