Cleveland clinic CCM fellowship

[Rikab]

I was looking through the new Critical Care fellowships.I find it amusing that some programs which have well established Pulmonary and critical care fellowships have stand alone critical care fellowships as well.Baylor,Cleveland clinic to mention a few.Just wondered why this may be when they have more than 20 combined fellows in their respective programs.Especially Cleveland clinic which seems to be increasing numbers recently.

Because their ICUs are growing faster than their pulm-cc program. I know that 3 years ago, CCF had increased to 3 ICU teams just for the MICU. And I've been surprised how much demand for straight intensivists there has been while I'm looking for jobs. I don't remember it being like this 3 years ago.

There's also likely to be an increase in demand for straight CCM fellowships now that EM-trained physicians can get board-certified after those programs.

Why is that amusing? Not everyone who is interested in working in an ICU also wants to do pulmonary. And for EM guys like myself, we aren't even allowed to do pulmonary. I just wish that there were more stand alone programs out there.
