Introduction
Dr. Selwyn O. Rogers, Jr. is the Division Chief of Trauma, Burns, and Surgical Critical Care and the Program Director for the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital. The one-year ACGME accredited fellowship for those with three years of general surgery training in the United States provides surgical education of the highest caliber leading to American Board of Surgery Certification in Surgical Critical Care within an environment designed to encourage clinical and basic scientific investigational experience.
The surgical critical care training at Brigham and Women's and our affiliated teaching hospitals provides a diverse experience encompassing all elements of surgical critical care. These combined hospital facilities allow each surgical critical care fellow to obtain a large experience to develop independent responsibility in the postoperative care of a variety of surgical patients. In addition to rotations in the primary surgical intensive care units, an extensive array of electives are available throughout a premier academic medical center.
We seek to train surgical critical care fellows who will become leaders in surgical critical care and become directors of surgical intensive care units throughout the country.
