The Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery at St. Luke's University Hospital is accepting applications for its Surgical Critical Care Fellowship. The successful applicant must have completed a minimum of three years in an ACGME accredited general surgery residency.

St. Luke's University Hospital is one of eleven Level 1 trauma centers in the State of Pennsylvania. The Trauma/Acute Care Surgery Service is quite active, admitting over 2300 trauma patients annually with a 94% blunt trauma and 6% penetrating trauma ratio. St. Luke’s has partnered with Temple School of Medicine to build the Regional Medical School of Temple/St. Luke’s on the campus of the Hospital.

The goal of the fellowship is to develop and enhance clinical and operative skills in the complete management of critically ill surgical and trauma patients. The surgical critical care fellowship at SLUH is a newly ACGME accredited fellowship. The surgical critical care fellow is responsible for managing all patients in the 14-bed surgical/trauma ICU, which admits trauma patients, general surgery, neurosurgery, surgical oncology and other surgical sub-specialty patients. SLUH has a total critical care capacity of 38, with 20 "step down" beds, all of which the fellow will rotate throughout. The fellow will direct trauma resuscitations and resuscitations in the ICU, take trauma call, and lead a surgical critical care team of residents, medical students and advanced practitioners. The fellow will work closely with the trauma/critical care attending staff in the clinical management of critically ill patients and attending staff will also work closely with the fellow in pursuit of administrative, education and research endeavors.
