BIDMC Finard ICU

Our fellows rotate through the Finard ICU in the first year of training. As an institution, BIDMC is a national leader in both critical care quality, critical care clinical research, and critical care education. Fellows benefit from related local expertise in ARDS management and post-cardiac arrest care in particular.

The Finard ICU is a 12-bed unit that cares for a diverse patient population, including medical patients and surgical sub-specialty patients from obstetrics-gynecology, orthopedics and urology. During this rotation, there are multiple fellow-directed teaching sessions including 1-to-1 weekly ultrasound rounds with an echocardiographer, bi-weekly radiology rounds, bi-monthly critical care M&M conferences, and 1-to-1 teaching sessions with respiratory therapists, focusing on advanced ventilator modes and esophageal pressure monitoring.
