I'm about half-way through my interviews and I'm intrigued by the variability among programs with regard to the number of ICU months. I know generally that ICU is valuable because its the sickest patients and they provide the most opportunity for procedures.
Some programs count their trauma months as SICU months. Some programs have SICU months in addition to trauma months. Some programs dont have PICU months. Some programs have only 1 MICU month...others have 3.
I was hoping some of the residents and attendings could give their opinion regarding the relative value of ICU rotations. Did some of you feel like you had too much ICU? Not enough?
