The Intensive Care Residency Program at Austral University Hospital began in 2005. Since its inception, the residency program has grown in both the number of residents and the number of patients treated.

The Intensive Care Unit offers a medical training program with an optimal staff-to-resident ratio. Team members, from the head of the unit to attending physicians, provide constant supervision that is guaranteed throughout the entire training period. The resident is never alone.

Skills and knowledge follow a progressive course in learning, according to a plan developed on the criteria that have been duly prepared by the Intensive Care Unit and the institution's own teachers, in accordance with the Argentine Society of Intensive Therapy, allowing that, at the end of the training program, our doctors obtain a solid clinical, academic and teaching training.

The Intensive Care Residency at Austral University Hospital is a five-year basic specialty program. The first year takes place in the inpatient wards of the Internal Medicine, Emergency, and Cardiology departments; the following four years are spent in the Intensive Care Unit.

The residency program is accredited by the National Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires, and the Argentine Society of Intensive Care (SATI).

Upon completion of the residency, the physician receives the title of University Specialist Physician in Intensive Care Medicine. Accredited by the Ministry of Education of the Nation/ Accredited by CONEAU, RES 29/2010.

Our values:

• We do our daily work to the best of our ability, constantly looking for ways to improve.
• We take responsibility for our attitudes, actions, and mistakes, seeking to improve.
• Clinical discussions are always conducted with a teaching spirit, and we share all our knowledge with others to foster cooperation and not grow only as individuals.
• Our activity is focused on the patient and their family who are going through critical situations.
• We believe in teamwork as the main tool that allows us to obtain the best results in the care of our patients, which is why we promote working with nurses, kinesiologists and other members of the health team in a climate based on cordiality, respect and trust where each member complements the others.
