Just curious to know , how is the fellowship program for critical care anesthesia fellowship at university of florida- gainesville. Anybody have advice or inputs in this program
 
Interviewed and loved it. Huge units. Top notch. Dr Gabrielli.

Neg: Gainesville.
 
Thank you GOS2 for your input. Are you going for critical care this year or next
 
Had "surprise" 3rd girl as CA2. Fellowship out the window.
 
My buddy did his fellowship in critical care there in mid 2000s. Solid training.

If you are single. Gainesville and UF have a lot of going on with the typical sec college atmosphere. Not so for those married.
 
Thank you so much for the input.
I am a busy anesthesiologist and planning to change to critical care medicine and about to start fellowship. I am not having much timebefore fellowship to study. Can I get good suggestion or advice, about which is the best source or resource for video lecture series for all the organ systems in critical care. I am ready to buy it. I can watch these lectures on my laptop during my on call day or during the case.
Your suggestion are highly appreciated
 
I'm towards the end of my Fellowship, but currently distracted by Oral Boards. I recently bought a book called "Evidence Based Practice of Critical Care," and seem to like it a lot. The chapter titles are essentially questions, and the chapter itself explores the evidence behind that question. It could be a good primer. If you're looking for a more classic style review textbook, then the Marini book (NOT Marino), is pretty good.

If you want videos, then I think SCCM has a video series but it's expensive.
 
UF has a solid program, I agree with the posts above. One of our best CCM anesthesiologists trained there.
 
Heard from friend who left his fellowship this year at this program that its going downhill, even with big names their is huge ego clash b/w surgery and anesthesia over who manages ICU and trauma surgeons are brutal to work with. As fellows expect to work almost 24 shifts / 4 weeks, was told 2 fellows quit there this year and fellows who continued are not happy either.
 
this is a good place to do a fellowship
 
I'm a CA-1 resident at UF, Gainesville.. currently on the ICU rotation. Two ICU fellows (both anesthesia trained) quit this year, I believe due to the stress and unhappiness of working with the surgeons here. It's also a huge ICU (48 beds total).

As amazing as Gabrielli is, he rarely works in the unit from what I can tell. He mostly does nighthawk attending for the overnight anesthesia team. He is very cryptic about what he plans to do next, and whether or not he will even be here anymore....

There are A LOT of problems with the ICU here. There are a lot of PAs that work here, which is fine, but they act like and quire frankly are treated like superiors to residents and equals to fellows. The fellows that are still here complain about that a lot.

UF's anesthesia program as a whole is in a state of flux. A lot of big names recently left in every subspecialty (except regional, Boezaart is still here thank god!).
 
No wonder I keep seeing faculty positions posted in Anesthesiology issue after issue

Salary is low at UF for Attendings even by Academic standards with small pay raises as you progress up the line.

Can you elaborate on the work schedule for the remaining Fellows? Are they on every 24 hours three shifts per week?
