Children's is a 377-bed institution located in the center of the Harvard Medical School complex. Most of the fellows' training takes place in the Medical-Surgical Intensive Care Unit (MSICU) and the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU). The MSICU, with approximately 2,000 admissions annually, provides all critical care services for our very active programs in medicine, general surgery, transplantation, neurosurgery, craniofacial reconstruction, orthopedics, otolaryngology and trauma. In addition, the unit serves as one of the largest extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centers in the United States with approximately 60 children treated annually.In the adjacent CICU fellows care for the full spectrum of pediatric cardiac disease, including more than 700 postoperative patients per year following cardiopulmonary bypass. This represents the highest volume of pediatric cardiac surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass in the world.
