About the Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship

Our PCCM Fellowship program offers a comprehensive training experience with a diverse clinical service, a structured research experience, and a thorough academic curriculum.

The Intensive Care Unit at Nationwide Children's Hospital includes 26 PICU beds and 7 Cardiothoracic ICU beds, combining for more than 1600 admissions per year. Led by 12 full-time pediatric intensivists, our PICU team cares for children from all hospital services, surgical and medical. Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, Level 1 trauma and burn care, and surgical management of complex congenital heart disease are among the treatments available to patients at Nationwide Children's Hospital along with heart, lung, heart/lung, kidney, and bone marrow transplantation.

The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, our on-site state of the art research facility, serves as a home to more than 100 principal investigators engaging in basic science and clinical research. Additionally, our academic association with The Ohio State University allows for a myriad of research and clinical collaborative opportunities.

The three-year training program is divided into 20 clinical months, 15 research months and one elective month. The block schedule for the entire training program is weighted toward clinical time in the first year with more research time in the second and third years. On-call time is spent exclusively in-house and will be no more than every fourth night on average. We are committed to providing a supportive learning environment through strict adherence to the duty hours limitations set forth by the ACGME.
