Can a surgeon with CC fellowship work in the MICU?
I would think this would be very rare.
I'm sure there is a surgical intensivist, somewhere, covering medical patients in a mixed med/surg ICU.

CC trained surgeon in our icu (mixed) covers all patients. I would think that it may not be that rare.

Surgeon covering a pure MICU = very rare!

Good question - & I have no answer. Here at Dartmouth, there is only the ICU & a CCU. The ICU is intentionally a mixed MICU/SICU unit. Approx 50% of the attendings are anesthesiologists. The other half is approx an equal mix of IM/Pulm & Surgeons. Due to nature of the structure, all types of attendings & residents cover both med & surg pts. This is why I wanted to to my ICU fellowship here. I do not want my critical care skills limited to one camp or the other.
I'm a new intern.
I'm on my MICU rotation right now, and one of the attendings is a general surgeon with a SICU fellowship. She is highly competent. She actually does trauma surgery call and works in the unit. Hard core.
