Curriculum and Rotations
Neurosciences ICU
The Neurocritical Care Unit at Harborview Medical Center is the clinical home for our fellows, and a major portion of the ICU time (7-9 months over 2 years) will be spent here. Our fellows lead one of our 2 Neurocritical services, and supervise a team of residents from various subspecialties and APPs. Fellows will also take in-house night call on the NCCS service in a leadership role, with supervision from an in-house intensivist and the NCCS daytime attending by phone.
Medical/Cardiac ICU
Our fellows spend 2 months in our Medical/Cardiac ICU at Harborview Medical Center, leading one of our 2 MICU teams and supervising a team of medicine residents and APPs. In addition to a high volume of post-cardiac arrest, our fellows see a variety of critical care pathologies, and also manage patients on ECMO. This rotation will significantly strengthen or fellows’ general critical care skills.

Our fellows spend 2 months in our Trauma ICU at Harborview Medical Center, leading one of our 2 TICU teams and supervising a team of surgery residents and APPs. As the main trauma center in WA state and the WAMI region, this service received a large volume and variety of complex patients with polytrauma. Fellows will learn to manage acute brain injury coupled with multi-system trauma.
