The ideal candidate must have completed an ACGME-accredited Surgical Critical Care Fellowship or be interested in completing a Surgical Critical Care Fellowship at our institution upon completing the Acute Care Surgery fellowship. Our Acute Care Surgery fellowship provides comprehensive trauma and emergency surgery training following the AAST model and curriculum. This is overseen by 15 full-time ACS, trauma, burn, and critical care surgeons, and integral participation of faculty from the Divisions of Cardiothoracic, Hepatobiliary, and Vascular Surgery. The fellows spend approximately six months on the acute care surgery and trauma services, functioning as a junior attending, in addition to rotating for at least four weeks in burns, hepatobiliary, thoracic, and vascular surgery. Electives in orthopedics, neurosurgery, plastics, advanced laparoscopy and endoscopy, nutrition, and global health are available to fulfill the fellow's particular interest and training needs.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

In the Department of Surgery, we are committed to providing an optimal educational environment for the training and growth of a future leader and innovator within the field. The ideal candidate should be energetic, motivated, and interested in an academic career in acute care and trauma surgery. The successful candidate must have leadership ambitions and drive to help and serve the community. We are committed to providing an environment that is both supportive and challenging so that you can fulfill your highest potential and assume a position of leadership in surgery.

The Department of Surgery offers a one- or two-year Acute Care Surgery (in the process of AAST-verification) and ACGME-accredited Surgical Critical Care fellowships. The program is based at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, The Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital, The Ohio State University East Hospital, and the Richard J. Solove Research Institute.

CURRICULUM

The curriculum provides advanced clinical training in all aspects of acute care surgery, trauma, burn, and surgical critical care. Areas of particular emphasis include:

• Trauma, burn, and emergency general surgery.
• Hepatobiliary surgery.
• Thoracic surgery.
• Vascular surgery.
• Application of current principles of metabolic and nutritional support.
• Management of complex hemodynamic problems.
• Use of newer modes of ventilatory support.

Acute Care Surgery fellows participate in the clinical and basic science research projects and clinical trials within the Division of Trauma, Critical Care & Burn. Trainees who complete appropriate course work in the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship may be eligible to receive a Master of medical science.

Two Acute Care Surgery and four Surgical Critical Care fellowship positions are available each year. Completion of a General Surgery residency in an ACGME-accredited graduate educational program and board eligibility is a prerequisite for admission to the program.

FACILITIES

The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is a tertiary-care level I trauma and ACS-verified burn center serving a wide geographic region. A leading hospital for trauma and burn in Ohio, our medical center has received patients from 73 of the 88 counties in the state. Each year, nearly 24,000 operations encompassing all disciplines of surgery are performed, more than 2,200 trauma and burn patients are admitted, and more than 500 trauma patients are transported to Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center by helicopter. Ohio State's James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, which is adjacent to the medical center, is one of only 39 hospitals in the nation designated as a comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute. Rotations in pediatric surgery and critical care are available at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, a Level I Trauma Center.

The surgical critical care unit at Ohio State is a 44-bed, state-of-the-art facility that houses the general surgery, neurosurgery, and burn intensive care units. These units are co-directed and staffed by faculty from the Departments of Surgery and Anesthesiology (Section of Surgical Critical Care and Trauma). More than 3,000 patients are admitted to the surgical critical care units each year.
