Advanced Resuscitation Fellowship
The Advanced Resuscitation Fellowship prepares future physician-scientists for careers of discovery in the science and clinical implementation of emergency cardiovascular care.

This training program is one of the most highly extramural-funded emergency medicine programs in the nation. It provides training in translational or clinical science.
Clinical research focuses on sudden cardiac arrest, sickle cell crisis, sepsis, acute stroke, hypertension, and traumatic brain injury.
Translational research seeks to improve our understanding of impaired heart and brain function following conditions of sudden cardiac arrest and hemorrhagic shock. These are leading causes of death in the elderly and young adults, and many patients die within hours after resuscitation (e.g., with CPR or blood transfusion) due to severe cardiovascular dysfunction of unclear etiology. This lethal dysfunction may result from oxidant stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired metabolic recovery and exuberant inflammatory responses. In the laboratory, we combine complementary in vivo and in vitro models of resuscitation and patient sample analysis that allow for both pharmacologic and genetic inquiry approaches with the ultimate goal of developing novel treatments for emergency cardiovascular care.
This training program also encourages coursework towards a master’s degree in a translational or clinical science area, with bench or clinical research, which will be used to apply for future K08 or K23 Career Development Award funding.
