This promotes involvement in research, quality improvement initiatives, journal publications, and conference presentations. Fellows are expected to submit an article for publication or presentation at a conference such as the Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists, Society of Critical Care Medicine or the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Fellows are also expected to present at a departmental Grand Rounds on a topic of their choosing and participate in a Quality Improvement project.
