Our Critical Care Medicine division provides care for 6 intensive care units. These ICUs provide extensive training for our students, residents, physician assistants, and fellows.
Our critical care anesthesiologists provide care for what are some of the most acutely ill patients in the United States. Working at UF Health, residents and fellows will leave this program with a broad range of experience and the confidence of being well-qualified and prepared to serve in any hospital.
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 non-divided, multi-disciplinary critical care medicine is optimal.
Hence, we have worked very hard to maintain the multi-specialty nature our faculty and the relatively non-specialty-specific units. We currently manage approximately 86 intensive care beds in our institution.
The Division of Critical Care Medicine is a multi-specialty, although predominantly anesthesiology-based, team of intensivists at UF Health at the University of Florida.
As members of the College of Medicine faculty, we are fully integrated into the clinical, academic, investigative, and administrative functions of the University of Florida.
Residents & Fellows
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 SICU 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 and within the University proper as needed. Thus, research areas we are not involved with can be developed with assistance from colleagues within the University.
Finally, we are honored to work with some of the best nurses in the United States, without whom we could not perform our jobs.
