Hi,

Does anyone know where there are some good places to sign up for a SICU rotation as a 4th year in Chicago area, new york city area, or Philadelphia area?

Thanks.

It't not SICU, but SUNY downstate (Kings county in Brooklyn) has a 2 week emergency critical care rotation. You just work in the critical area of the ED seeing the sickest patients and learn about early treatment of sepsis, stroke, MI etc. They also get some pretty nasty traumas. It would be a great rotation, you'd learn a lot about trauma intubation, vents, early goal directed therapy, arrythmia managment etc.
