Learning Objectives

• Identify the four major training pathways for emergency medicine graduates
• Describe the application process for each pathway
• Analyze the pros and cons of practicing each type of critical care
• Assess the job opportunities for emergency medicine/critical care medicine graduates after training in the respective pathways

Practice Gap Addressed
Critical care has become one of the fastest-growing fellowship choices for emergency medicine graduates, with more physicians pursuing this path every year. Many emergency medicine trainees and early-career physicians lack clear guidance on the diverse critical care training options available and how to navigate them successfully.
