Hi everyone,
I'm a Canadian Anesthesia resident interested in doing Anes-CCM training in the US and hoping for some advice.
At most Canadian centers, ICUs still run in a closed unit, mixed-ICU model (with trauma/micu/sicu etc patients all in the same ICU) with most academic centers having specialized CSICUs (run mainly by cardiac anes without formal ICU training). As many of you know, our CCM training is standardized across all base specialities and we all do the same 2 year fellowship afterwards. The current expectation for most jobs at this point in Canada is still for coverage of the full spectrum of ICU pathology (exception of CSICU). Since my ultimate goal is to return to Canada, I am wondering if anyone knows of good fellowship programs that may have a similar model?
Many Anes-CCM programs ive looked into are CSICU/SICU focused and so I'm specifically interested in hearing about programs mainly dedicated to mixed-ICUs and hopefully also closed units. If anyone has any insight on this that would be extremely appreciated.
Most anes-icu staff in Canada also do a 3rd fellowship year in cardiac anes in order to get an academic job, but as the job market is increasingly more saturated I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on niche areas within anesthesia that I could pursue on top of CCM to enhance my skillset/secure employment.
If anyone has any experience asking to prolong their training to 2 years, that would be helpful as well.
Thank you all so much for your help!
