Peds, clearly. But why are you asking this in the EM forum?

Well I'm doing an EM residency and am toying with the idea of pursuing critical care fellowship. PEDS is likely off the table lol

PICU? Nope. Glad people do it, but nope.
A regular sherlock holmes! Lol. I'm in the army and was out practicing for a bit before coming back to complete residency. Forgot to change that back to resident.

Depends what you wanna do.
Surgical: You're limited to post-op/trauma ICUs in which you'd have to do likely 6 months of being a surgical intern (at least the places I interviewed)
Medical: Probably the most broadly trained which gives you a robust background in which fits most ICUs
Anesthesia: Some medical ICUs are okay with them, some aren't. I'd imagine you'd stick around surgical ICUs, but I can't speak for all. Probably depends like most things.
You'll have the best job opportunities in academia I believe, but I'm EM trained and doing ICU in the private world. I did CCM fellowship through a medicine program, so I'm biased.
