In fourth year, students may request a four-week Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) rotation that satisfies their Critical Care core rotation. The SICU rotation enables the student to experience a surgeon-led ICU with post-op surgery and trauma patients. The SICU experience allows the student to learn about critically ill surgery and trauma patients; examination, presentations, procedures and surgery. The student is responsible for all required Critical Care core and SICU material. The student must pass the Critical Care core examination with an additional 15 SICU-related questions.
