Critical Care Residency Program HCMC is a Level 1 Trauma Center and is a nationally recognized academic medical center and public service hospital serving all of Minnesota. We are also a major teaching hospital who participates in the medical training of approximately 250 resident physicians and University of Minnesota medical students each year. HCMC also participates in educating and training students from various health care professions, such as nursing, pharmacy, respiratory therapy, dentistry, and nutrition. HCMC has a patient population that illustrates the wide cultural diversity in the Twin Cities. This diversity provides a wonderful capacity to gain exposure to unusual disease states and the cultural needs associated with providing health care in a diverse setting. HCMC also provides the opportunity to work with health care providers from a widely diverse base and learn from their perspective. HCMC has several intensive care settings which include the medical, surgical, and cardiology, the regional burn center, the neuroscience program, and a pediatric ICU. Elective experiences are available in infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, psychiatry, hematology-oncology, neurology, Poison Center/drug information, pediatrics, nephrology, cardiology- ambulatory and step-down, and management. Each specialty has a clinical pharmacist imbedded with the service to serve as a preceptor. HCMC requires each resident to choose a project that is presented at the Midwest Pharmacy Residents’ Conference each spring. The process of integrating research with the critical care experience aids in developing projects that have relevance to actual patient care and gain an appreciation for the effort put forth to publish one’s work.
