chjohns22 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Hello all! I was hoping a few of you out there might be recent graduates (or know of someone who is) from one of the PA Critical Care residency programs. I am starting to look at the different programs that offer them, and while reading the curriculum is helpful, it does not account for first hand knowledge. I would love to discuss your experiences with your program and get your thoughts. So far, I am looking at Montefiore, Johns Hopkins, Emory, and Mayo. I will expand/narrow the list as I am able to get some more information. I hope to hear from a few of you! It would be great to have a nice CC residency thread for folks to reference, it seems most of the info available currently is for EM. Thanks everyone, hope to hear from you!

charlottew Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 UMass Worcester has a critical care residency for PA's (and NP's) as well. Just restarted in the past year. I was not a resident myself, but I work in the division and I can try to answer any questions you might have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins offers an October-October residency. Usually 4 residents, who work through the various ICU (SICU/CVSICU/Neuro/MICU/CCU) and elective speciality rotations. Working 60-80 weeks, you get what you put into such an experience. I think if you are a gunner and highly motivated, these are great experiences. If your timid and not willing to step up to get experiences (run codes, grab procedures) your going to have a tough time getting a fantastic experience since PA residents have to fight it out for procedures with interns/residents. Note: I never have done a CC residency, only have seen/worked with PA residents firsthand in the ICU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawmaryblonde Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Can anyone speak to the UPMC critical care residency in Pittsburgh? It seems to have been around a few years yet its never mentioned by APPAP or endorsed on here.

charlottew Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I recently met an NP who completed the UPMC residency, they are now working in a top-10 cardiovascular ICU. I asked them a little about how they had enjoyed the residency, they said the training had been very good. Sorry my information is indirect! Good luck.

bike mike Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I completed a critical care cardiology residency at Piedmont Hopsital in Atlanta and loved the experience. Lots of procedures, running STEMI calls, bringing people back from the brink. I agree with what another poster said about the importance of drive and motivation - you need to want to get knee deep to get the most out of any residency.
