An assigned fellow has the responsibility for presenting at least one case each year with faculty support. The fellow is expected to assemble and moderate the conference, provide audiovisual support and hand-outs for the case and invite iniduals with special expertise to the conference.
Critical Care Research
This is an opportunity for fellows and faculty to discuss research plans, present preliminary research results and fine-tune their presentations for national meetings. Didactic lectures on research methods are also presented.
Morbidity and Mortality
Faculty conducts this conference and all deaths in the Medical/Surgical intensive care unit are reviewed. Fellows are assigned to present case synopses for the deaths and morbidities for which they were involved in patient care.
The educational program is led by a dynamic and multidisciplinary critical care medicine faculty, which includes three past presidents of the Society of Critical Care Medicine.
Conference Schedule

ACGME Resident Lectures
Monthly lectures address topics, such as socioeconomics and cost containment, performance improvement, or medical ethics, which are required in the annual curriculum for all residents and fellows by the ACGME.
Critical Care In-Service Examination
The Multidisciplinary Critical Care Knowledge Assessment Program (MCCKAP) administered through the Society of Critical Care Medicine is a four-hour standardized critical care in-service examination given annually to all critical care fellows. MCCKAP allows critical care fellows to compare their knowledge base with other critical care fellows nationwide, and the fellows in the two-year program are able to evaluate their progress between the first and second year of the program. Only the respective fellow and the program director will know actual examination results.
Critical Care Journal Club
Critical care fellows and faculty members are assigned to each journal club and select two articles to be presented.
SimLab
The SimLab is a state-of-the-art-simulation facility where fellows develop and enhance their procedural skills, difficult airway management, bronchoscopy and crisis team response. In addition, the SimLab provides the opportunity for fellows to teach junior residents and medical students basic procedures and management of medical emergencies.
Didactic Lectures
State-of-the-art lectures are presented not only by the critical care faculty, but in keeping with the multidisciplinary nature of the training program, didactic lectures may also given by faculty and visiting professors specializing in trauma, infectious disease, cardiovascular, or emergency medicine.
Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS)
Developed by the Society of Critical Care Medicine, FCCS is a standardized course on the basic principles of critical care that is administered in August to all new critical care fellows and residents.
Internal Medicine Grand Rounds
Critical care fellows are encouraged to attend the weekly Internal Medicine Grand Rounds presented by faculty from the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School or invited faculty from other nationally known institutions.
Opportunity to Function as a Junior Attending
Fellows will have the opportunity to function as an attending and lead the multidisciplinary team in making patient-care rounds during the final months of either the two-year or one-year training program.
Teaching Rounds
Conducted daily in the Medical/Surgical ICU by critical care faculty with active participation by fellows and the multidisciplinary patient care team members.
