Surgical Critical Care Fellowship

The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship at Denver Health is an ACGME/RRC approved training program that educates fellows in the advanced care of critically ill and injured patients. Rotational experience includes trauma, cardiac, burn, and pediatric, as well as general surgical critical care. The fellowship is designed to provide the critical care resident education in the principles and practices of state-of-the art surgical critical care.  The fellowship is devoted to patient care, with didactic, clinical, and research components. In addition, Denver Health physicians and nurses regularly participate in regional and national outreach education, sharing their expertise, new techniques and procedures with other health professionals throughout the Rocky Mountain Region.

Trauma & Acute Care Fellowship

Denver Health Medical Center's Trauma & Acute Care Fellowship was approved as an official training site by the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) in May 2008.  Our first TACS Fellow will finish his training in June 2008.  Trauma and Acute Care Surgery (TACS) encompasses trauma and non-trauma surgical emergencies, as well as surgical critical care.  Individuals trained in TACS will be qualified to provide comprehensive emergent surgical and critical care to trauma and non-trauma conditions in virtually any body region or organ system.  Through this integrated educational experience, we are providing residents with the training to become academic leaders in this emerging discipline.
