A two-year Acute Care Surgery Fellowship is offered at our busy Level 1 Adult and Level 2 Pediatric Trauma Center. The first year consists of an ACGME-approved surgical critical care fellowship with rotations in Trauma ICU, Medical ICU, Pediatric ICU, cardiology, nephrology, infectious disease and trauma. The second year involves advanced surgical training in the nation's first AAST-approved Acute Care Surgery Fellowship. The ACS curriculum includes trauma, emergency general surgery, thoracic/vascular, hepatobiliary, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery and Trauma Systems. Electives are offered in burn surgery and colorectal surgery. Training is completed at University Medical Center, Nevada's only Level 1 and Pediatric Level 2 Trauma Center. This busy, metropolitan trauma center evaluates over 10,000 and admits over 4,000 patients per year. We perform approximately 400 laparotomies and 75 thoracotomies per year. Our catchment area extends in a 300 mile radius, including portions of Arizona, Utah and California. We have the only "stand alone" trauma center west of the Mississippi River, with a dedicated trauma resuscitation area, CT scanner, angiography suite, three dedicated trauma operating rooms and a 14-bed trauma ICU.
