Acute Care Surgery Fellowship
UICOMP/OSF Healthcare Acute Care Surgery fellows develop advanced proficiency in the management of critically ill and injured patients in a transition to practice model. We train fellows who are comfortable with the complexity of these high-acuity patients and develop unique expertise in systems operations and/or disaster management making them excellent candidates for leadership positions.
Teaching conferences include didactic sessions, morning report, M&M, and Surgical Grand Rounds. Fellows will spend 4 months on Trauma/Critical Care, 4 months on Emergency General Surgery, and 4 months of electives with the option of a concentration focus. Electives include CVICU/cardiothoracic surgery, ultrasound, disaster management, research, system operations.
All rotations occur at OSF St. Francis Medical Center (SFMC), which is the flagship quaternary referral center that serves a 15-hospital system and large area of central Illinois. We have the only Level 1 center in the region with higher than expected penetrating trauma and critically injured patients. Our emergency general surgery volume is above the 80th percentile with complex pathophysiology creating an incredible learning environment.
