The Emory Center for Critical Care NP/PA post graduate Fellowship is a one-year training program that teaches fellows to become highly skilled in the multidisciplinary, collaborative and evidence-based management of complex patients in the intensive care unit. This program attracts new graduates seeking a structured educational program, who want to become experts and leaders in their field as well as practicing providers who are interested in critical care medicine.  

Our program is unique, in that it combines a highly detailed competency-based curriculum with hands-on learning in the clinical setting.  

Rotations incorporate medical, cardiac, general surgical, and neurological ICUs across all Emory Healthcare institutions as well as brief exposures with nephrology, echocardiography and infectious disease services. Fellows will also spend time in the operating room getting hands on training with airway management and endotracheal tubes.
