Clinical Education and Rotations

Fellows have weekday clinical responsibilities as well as an on-call schedule. Most call is taken from home for index level cases, with about one overnight, midweek call per month. Weekend, morning call is designed to provide trainees with off-hours supervisory experience. The year is divided into 13 blocks, each lasting roughly four weeks.

Research and Additional Training Opportunities

An optional six to 12 months of training provides interested candidates with additional clinical expertise in cardiac anesthesiology, pain management or critical care. This training can be pursued within a second ACGME fellowship, or informally in addition to a part-time clinical appointment.

Alternatively, candidates may pursue training in basic science or clinical research. Basic science research in anesthesiology and related areas of physiology and pharmacology is conducted at several sites and is under the direction of Julie Freed, MD, PhD.

Other second-year fellowship opportunities: The program offers qualified fellows the option of complete, additional, non-ACGME training as a faculty-instructor, with dedicated protected time for focused career development. Opportunities exist to specialize in pediatric cardiac anesthesiology and quality/safety management. These opportunities are available to qualified fellows who apply either at the time of initial interview, or during their Children's Wisconsin fellowship year. Exceptional outside candidates will be considered as availability permits.
