Cardiac Intensive Care Fellowship

The Heart Institute at Nicklaus Children's Hospital is recruiting a senior fellow in cardiac intensive care medicine for a 1 year clinically oriented fellowship. The cardiac intensive care unit at Nicklaus Children's Hospital is a unit with 34 beds with a acuity adjustable model. The multidisciplinary unit specializes in providing care to patients with congenital or acquired heart disease ranging in age from newborn to adults. There are over 1000 total admissions a year to the ICU, and the program supports one of the largest surgical and interventional cardiac catheterization services in the southeast.

This clinically oriented program is flexible enough to provide training to most subspecialists who contribute to the care of these patients, including board eligible or certified physicians in pediatric cardiology, pediatric critical care, neonatology, or anesthesiology. The fellowship is flexible and will be adjusted to provide maximum benefit to applicants from the various subspecialties. Rotations include cardiac critical care, cardiac anesthesia, echocardiography, cardiac catheterization, perfusion/cardiopulmonary bypass, electrophysiology, and palliative care.
