Pathophysiology for the Pediatric Critical Care Fellow: Three Representative Simulation Cases

Introduction During the course of fellowship training, pediatric critical care fellows are expected to develop a broad and in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology of multiple disease processes. The simulation-based pediatric critical care pathophysiology curriculum we present uses scenarios cr...
