It provides an overview of the field and the most important elements of primary care. Its authors also discuss the role of critical care in VA health care systems.
Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
The Division of Pediatrics at the Center for Integrative Research in the Critical and Vascular Sciences seeks a dynamic, innovative, and accomplished physician to lead its division. This pediatric critical care unit has over eighty full-time pediatric critical care physicians.

The division is also actively involved in clinical research and is the home of a nationally recognized pediatric intensive care fellowship training program.
Grand Challenge competition
The Grand Challenge competition for the center for integrative research in critical care is an annual effort to raise funds for high-impact, milestone-driven research. Past Grand Challenge competitions have focused on traumatic brain injury and sepsis, but in 2019, the focus will expand to pediatric critical care and cardiac arrest. To submit a proposal, you must identify and describe all of the project teams that comprise the project.
