title: Trauma resuscitation/critical care fellowship for emergency physicians: a necessary step for the future of academic emergency medicine.
abstract: Emergency physicians (EPs) have long been de-facto providers of trauma resuscitation and critical care in academic and community hospital settings, and are significantly involved in out-of-hospital trauma care and trauma research. A one-year fellowship has been developed and implemented to provide advanced training in trauma resuscitation and critical care to EPs with a special interest in the field. This fellowship provides additional depth and breadth of training to prepare graduates for leadership roles in academic and specialized trauma centers. This is the first fellowship of its kind for EPs, and may serve as a model for fellowships at other institutions.
