Program Director's Welcome
Welcome to Stony Brook Critical Care.
We proudly offer a one- or two-year, ACGME accredited, Critical Care Medicine Fellowship. Program length is two years for most candidates. One-year tracks are considered for those with prior training in Pulmonary Medicine or Cardiovascular Medicine. We welcome candidates with backgrounds in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine and those with Internal Medicine Subspecialty training.
Our clinical site is Stony Brook University Hospital located in Stony Brook, New York. We are the only primary site academic facility in Suffolk County, serving a diverse population of nearly 1.5 million people over 2200 square miles.
We offer practical and evidence-based training in Critical Care Medicine and meet or exceed all requirements for board certification. Our ultrasound curriculum is robust, and a majority of our fellows pass the CCEeXAM of special competence in Critical Care Echocardiography during training. Our fellowship “home base” is medical ICU; in addition, our fellows rotate in Surgical, Cardiac, Cardiothoracic, and Neurologic ICUs and the Emergency Department’s Critical Care ED. In addition to experiential learning, we offer a comprehensive curriculum of didactic education including case conferences, journal club, research conference and morbidity and mortality conference. We offer formal education in team-based care, quality improvement, and team leadership. In addition to didactic education, we have a robust, simulation-based procedural education curriculum.
For those fellows with two years of training time, we offer a variety of tracks including medical education, hospital leadership and research. We have several labs accepting fellows for research with focus areas including critical care ultrasound, quality improvement, cardiac arrest, and ICU outcomes. For fellows with a background in Emergency Medicine, we offer a dedicated Emergency Medicine Critical Care experience including extensive training in our Critical Care Emergency Department.
