Our faculty include 16 board-certified pediatric intensivists. Several are double board-certified in anesthesiology in addition to their training in general pediatrics and pediatric critical care.
In addition, we are spearheading an international effort to design and support critical care practice through the Virtual Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (vPICU), with its informatics and telecommunications support for pediatric critical care.
