I Pediatric Trauma Center accredited by the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation and a major referral site for pediatric trauma patients in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas. The mean ISS was 8.53. The Pediatric Trauma and Critical Care Fellowship is a two- year program in conjunction with the Adult Trauma and Surgical Critical Care Program at the University of Pennsylvania. This relationship allows us to combine an experience at a nationally recognized adult program with comprehensive exposure to pediatric trauma. The surgical critical care experience also includes neonatal, pediatric and cardiac intensive care at Children's Hospital, including liquid ventilation and ECMO and adult surgical critical care at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Research is encouraged and time and support is provided.
The program is accredited by the RRC and will lead to certification to take the Surgical Critical Care examination.
