      The Aurora Health Care Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Fellowship Program is a one-year, ACGME-accredited training program with two fellowship positions per year.
     We have 14 hyperbaric programs in our hospital system, two of which are training sites. Our primary teaching center is at our multi-place hyperbaric facility located at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee. Our secondary teaching site offers monoplace hyperbaric training, which is located at our Kenosha medical center.
     Fellows in the program can expect to see clinical cases involving the full spectrum of hyperbaric and undersea medicine indications, including those of an emergent and critical nature. Fellows will also take call with our overnight emergent team.
     In addition, fellows will gain experience in wound care and can expect to be a part of our multidisciplinary limb salvage teams.
     We have multiple board-certified fellowship trained attendings on our core faculty, who have created a comprehensive curriculum and didactic series for the training year. Our fellows will also attend out-of-state continuing medical education (CME) training courses as part of their fellowship experience.

Hyperbaric fellows work in the Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology, an integral part of Duke University Medical Center.  Four slots are available each year, 2 of which are associated thru Intermountain Healthcare. Applicants must be eligible for licensure as a trainee in the state of North Carolina and they must have completed an ACGME certified residency program and be board eligible in their specialty. The fellowship is highly competitive, and the training is designed to prepare the fellow to become a leader in the field of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine through the development of clinical competence and research expertise.

Mission: To provide leadership, consultation, and training in Undersea & Hyperbaric Medicine (UHM) – spearheading research, education, and medical practice in operational and clinical arenas during conflict or peace.

Vision: To maintain a premier training platform that provides robust exposure to emergency, routine clinical and military operational dive, and hyperbaric medicine, producing high caliber board certified hyperbaric medicine physicians.

The United States Air Force has trained more than 50 hyperbaric medicine physicians over the past 30 years through the Department of Defense’s only UHM fellowship. The intense training in clinical hyperbaric medicine, with an emphasis on altitude physiology and military operations, prepares military physicians to assume the role of UHM clinical and operational specialists. The program is located at the DoD’s largest health care facility, housing a Level 1 Trauma Center and Burn Center, serving San Antonio and the surrounding region.

      The UCSD Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Fellowship is designed to provide board-certified or board-eligible physicians licensed in the US the opportunity to be educated and trained in the theory and practice of diving and hyperbaric medicine. Individuals successfully completing the one-year ACGME accredited fellowship should obtain sufficient didactic and practical knowledge to work efficiently and competently in a hyperbaric clinical and research environment and to act in a supervisory capacity of a hyperbaric chamber.
      The UCSD Fellowship in Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine is a 12 month fellowship that incorporates training in all aspects of hyperbaric and diving medicine. Each fellow spends 4-6 months at UCSD on the hyperbaric medicine service, 3-4 months at our UCSD Wound Care Centers, dedicated research time, 2 weeks at the UHMS Physicians in Diving Medicine Training course, elective time, and 4 weeks of vacation. The program is designed to train 2-3 fellows annually; there are at least 5 hours per week of planned educational experiences and the fellows participate in formal didactic teaching programs and teach undersea and hyperbaric medicine to medical students, residents, and community organizations. The fellowship program is closely associated with the UCSD Department of Emergency Medicine Residency Program.
