Critical Care/ICU Course

To develop skills in identifying and stabilizing critically ill patients and engaging in interprofessional care within an advanced clinical setting, all students must fulfill a longitudinal critical care learning experience in Alpine-Summit. To meet this requirement, students can complete either a 4-week Acting Internship in an intensive care unit (ICU) at a SOM core site (which counts towards both the Acting Internship and critical care graduation requirements) or can complete a 2-week clinical elective called the Alpine Critical Care Rotation. This elective integrates a clinical ICU immersion at a SOM core site with didactics/skills sessions addressing essential critical care topics.
