Fellowship details
Perioperative medicine is an evolving aspect of clinical anesthesiology. Through the fellowship, experience is gained by taking on the unique challenges in assessing and optimizing high risk patients and then managing their perioperative care at the Health Sciences Center Progressive Care Unit - Surgery (PCUS).
Multidisciplinary training
Work alongside a diverse group of 12 perioperative medicine anesthesiologists with expertise in intensive care, perioperative echocardiography, acute and chronic pain management and ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia.
Focus on the care of high risk patients through the perioperative period with the goal of avoiding or managing significant perioperative illness.
Expert perioperative care
The dedicated eight-bed perioperative PCUS provides experience in consolidating expertise in perioperative medicine, particularly in echocardiography, internal medicine and intensive care medicine.
Rotations
Over the course of 12 consecutive months, which includes four weeks of holiday time, your course of study will comprise 48 weeks of core rotations and approved elective time. The core time will be divided between the PCUS, other clinical rotations, research and autonomous OR time.
In addition to rotations in PCUS, ICU, SICU, PAC, echocardiography, cardiac OR and OR, experience additional training in a field of medicine applicable to perioperative patient care. This enhanced skills elective requires pre-approval and includes, but is not limited to, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, sleep medicine, nutrition/TPN and pain management techniques.
For the purposes of confirmation of completion and associated credentials, time spent in approved off-service electives may be credited toward the fellowship, proportionately reducing the required time spent in core commitments.
You’ll undertake research in an existing project or develop an original research project, which will be discussed prior to the start of your fellowship. Types of projects include a research paper, clinical audit or review article of sufficient quality to be accepted for publication in a recognized journal.
As a fellow in perioperative medicine, your primary responsibility will be to provide expert perioperative care to surgery patients. As your abilities and expertise levels increase, so will your autonomy.
