Burn Fellowship Program

Program Description

The Burn/Critical Care Fellowship is an ACGME accredited program, a one-year clinical training experience based in the Burn Unit at the Los Angeles General Medical Center. The schedule has eight (8) months in the Burn Unit and four (4) months of Surgical Critical. This schedule allows training in all aspects of burn treatment while making the fellow eligible for certification (CAQ) in Surgical Critical Care.

The Burn Unit is verified by the American Burn Association/American College of Surgeons and admits 400 adult and pediatric patients each year. The fellowship includes all aspects of acute and reconstructive burn care as well as adult and pediatric intensive care.

By the completion of the fellowship, the trainee will be experienced in resuscitation, operative treatment, critical care, rehabilitation and burn scar reconstruction. The burn fellow functions as a junior attending participating in all aspects of burn care. There is ample opportunity for basic science and clinical research.
