The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Program is a new program accredited in surgery by the ACGME Residency Review Committee (RRC). The program will include rotations in all disciplines at Miami Valley Hospital (MVH), as well as rotations at the Children's Medical Center of Dayton (CMC). Electives will include rotations in the Neonatal ICU at MVH (a Level III nursery with neonatal ECMO capability, soon to be expanded to 60 beds), and the pediatric ICU at CMC.

The Department of Surgery's free-standing general surgery residency training program is one of the largest in the nation, graduating seven chief residents each year. In addition, all seven trauma, critical care and emergency surgery faculty are SCC Fellowship trained, and have significant clinical and basic science research interests.

Facilties

MVH is an 848-bed regional referral and specialty center and one of seven major teaching hospitals in the Greater Dayton area affiliated with Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. The facility is an ACS-verified Level I Trauma Center (with 3,000 trauma admissions and 500 emergency surgery admissions per year) and a regional Burn Center, and is the only such facility in southwest central Ohio. The MVH Shaw Trauma and Emergency Center was expanded and renovated in 2000, and includes a 41-bed ultramodern medical-surgical ICU, with new medical-surgical general care areas, operating rooms, and a 71-bed emergency department. Supported by three Eurocopter Dauphin Helicopters (two located on site), the trauma center is the busiest emergency department in the state of Ohio, seeing nearly 100,000 patients annually.

CMC is a 155-bed tertiary pediatric health care facility that offers a full range of inpatient services and 35 subspecialty and general outpatient clinics serving 20 Ohio counties and eastern Indiana. Included within the hospital are a 12-bed pediatric intensive and progressive care unit, a six-bed intermediate care unit, a 10-bed hematology/oncology unit and a 31-bed state-of-the-art Level III newborn intensive care unit.

The birthplace of aviation, Dayton is a mid-sized city within a metropolitan area that includes almost a million residents and is home to five Fortune 1,000 companies, several divisions of General Motors, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
