Program overview
MGA Medical Global Academy’s Fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care is a practice-focused post-graduate program for doctors who want to gain in-depth knowledge about the management of the critically ill child and baby. A structured fellowship programme of 12 months, comprising evidence based learning, clinical exposure and practical experience in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). The program emphasizes pediatric emergencies, respiratory failure, shock, neurological emergencies, trauma, sepsis, multi-organ dysfunction, and postoperative critical care. The multidisciplinary experience in advanced life support, ventilatory management, cardiac monitoring, renal support therapies, infection control and critical care technologies is designed to enhance the clinical decision-making and patient management abilities of Fellows.
