Critical Care Advanced Mentorship

Stanford has a long tradition of multidisciplinary training in critical care.  Emergency physicians have been training in critical care at Stanford for over 20 years, the first fellow having graduated in 1996. 

Two pathways are available at Stanford for graduates of an EM residency

• IM-CCM
• A-CCM

For more details on the CCM fellowships at Stanford, please visit the Stanford University Critical Care Fellowship Program

Training and Board Certification Opportunities for Emergency Medicine-Trained Graduates

There are currently four pathways for EPs to become board-certified in CCM:

• Internal Medicine-Critical Care Medicine (IM-CCM)
• Anesthesiology-Critical Care Medicine (A-CCM)
• Surgical Critical Care (SCC)
• Neuro-Critical Care (N-CC)

There are also Resuscitation and Research fellowships available that allow EPs to train further with an emphasis on managing critically ill patients, but currently are not ACGME certified.

Each pathway and its programs have their own application timelines. For detailed application and curriculum information, please visit the individual program websites or contact them directly. 

All paths are open to EPs who have completed or will complete either a 3-year or 4-year residency.
