The goal of the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship Program is to prepare fellows to function as qualified practitioners at the advanced level of performance expected of a board-certified subspecialist. The education of surgeons in the practice of surgical critical care encompasses didactic instruction in the basic and clinical sciences of surgical diseases and conditions, as well as education in procedural skills and techniques used in the intensive care settings.

The CNS hospitalists work closely with nursing staff and case managers on the stroke and neuroscience units. They conduct daily multidisciplinary rounds with the bedside nurses as well as nursing and case management leadership to ensure that all patient concerns are addressed.

The cardiology section at Inova Fairfax Medical Campus welcomes the opportunity to co-manage critically ill cardiac patients with house staff. The individuals in this large section are board-certified cardiologists who serve as the attending of record for patients on the CCU service and participate in combined management and teaching rounds. These faculty members also administer the CCU house staff lecture series. The medical directors of the CCU conduct monthly meetings to discuss the teaching service in an effort to continually improve the house staff experience during the rotation.
