The program is designed to take advantage of the cooperative efforts of the entire Department of Surgery at Valleywise Health with the surgical critical care faculty at the Mayo Clinic Critical Care Unit in Phoenix. Rotations take place at Valleywise Health's Surgical Intensive Care Unit, the Arizona Burn Center and at the Mayo Clinic – Arizona Critical Care Unit. Direct supervision will be provided by board-certified surgical, internal medicine, or anesthesia critical care intensivists. Completion of the comprehensive one-year surgical critical care curriculum will be essential for graduation and justification for the ability to qualify for the Special Certification in Surgical Critical Care examination.
