Goal
The goal of the TidalHealth Critical Care Medicine Fellowship program is to train compassionate, ethical, and skilled intensivists who deliver safe, high-quality, and evidence-based care to critically ill and injured patients. Through a multidisciplinary and collaborative learning environment, the program will foster the development of clinical excellence, leadership, and academic inquiry. The program provides a comprehensive clinical and educational curriculum that includes exposure to a wide spectrum of critical care areas, simulation-based training, and progressive autonomy in decision-making and procedural responsibilities.

In alignment with our institution’s broader mission to improve the health of the communities we serve, the fellowship emphasizes patient-centered care, service to diverse and underserved populations, and a strong commitment to healthcare equity. Fellows will actively engage in scholarly activity, quality improvement initiatives, and patient safety efforts that promote lifelong learning and advance the field of critical care medicine.

Welcome From Our Program Director
Welcome to the Critical Care Medicine Fellowship at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional in Salisbury, Maryland.
Our two-year fellowship, currently accepting one fellow per year, offers comprehensive, hands-on training across our medical ICU and mixed cardiac, neuro, and surgical ICU, with exposure to ECMO, mechanical circulatory support (IABP, Impella), critical care ultrasound, and advanced airway management. Fellows will have the opportunity to rotate through community hospitals to develop the versatility and confidence needed to practice in any setting.
As part of an established Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship, our program is built on a strong academic foundation with dedicated, supportive faculty committed to mentorship and professional growth. With access to an advanced simulation lab and a schedule designed to maximize learning while minimizing burnout, fellows receive well-rounded, personalized training focused on both skill and balance.
We seek driven, team-oriented, and focused physicians who value collaboration, compassion, and excellence in critical care.
At TidalHealth, you’ll train in a collegial, high-acuity environment that blends academic rigor with real-world experience — preparing you to lead confidently as an intensivist.
