Cardiac Care Unit (CCU): The CCU experience provides in-depth training in advanced cardiac pathology and critical care medicine. Fellows round in the 18-bed CCU with internal medicine residents, students, and dedicated pharmacists. Furthermore, fellows follow post-operative cardiac surgery patients in the cardiothoracic surgical ICU (CPS). Fellows are involved in the management of mechanical support devices (intra-aortic balloon pump, Impella, ECMO). Lastly, fellows perform consults in non-cardiac intensive care units including the medical ICU (MICU), surgical ICU (SICU), and neurosciences ICU, providing a broad exposure to critical care medicine. In particular, the cardiac ICU service works closely with our pulmonary/critical-care medicine colleagues who remain in-house 24 hours daily.
