Anesthesiology Critical Care Medicine Fellowship Training

Abstract

Comment As this article summarizing a survey of program directors indicates, there is considerable variability in the actual programs for fellowship training in anesthesiology critical care medicine. This is both a strength and a weakness of the anesthesiology critical care medicine training process. There may be concern that some fellows are getting inadequate training in some programs because of a lack of rigidly defined curriculum. On the other hand, the variability may be due to the fact that there are only one or two fellows in most programs and the programs are being modified to meet the needs and proclivities of the fellows in training.
