Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine

Become a Confident, ICU-Ready Doctor in 12 Months 

A Doctyn Academy Flagship Fellowship | Hybrid + Hospital Based

Programme Overview:

The Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine offered by Doctyn Academy is a comprehensive 12-month hybrid fellowship crafted to equip MBBS doctors with the clinical competence, procedural expertise, and decision-making confidence required to work independently in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). 

India’s ICUs are expanding rapidly due to rising rates of critical illness, trauma, sepsis, respiratory failure, cardiac emergencies, and non-communicable diseases. However, the availability of trained critical care physicians has not kept pace with this rising burden. 

Doctyn Academy’s fellowship is designed to bridge this skill gap, transforming early-career doctors into competent, safe, and confident ICU clinicians who are fully prepared to manage real-world emergency and critical care scenarios. 

The program combines: 

• 9 months of structured online learning, with live faculty sessions, case-based discussions, assessments, and interactive modules. 

• 3 months of hospital-based clinical training, working under intensivists, pulmonologists, anaesthesiologists, and emergency physicians. 

Upon completion, fellows are prepared to work in: 

• ICU (Medical, Surgical, Neuro, Trauma etc.) 

• Emergency Medicine 

• High Dependency Units 

• Step-down ICUs 

• Critical care wards and acute care units 

This fellowship delivers real medical transformation — from theoretical understanding to hands-on, life-saving skills.

Why This Fellowship? 

India faces one of the largest global burdens of critical illness, yet the supply of trained ICU doctors is critically low. 

Key healthcare gaps this Fellowship solves: 

20% of global deaths from critical illness occur in India — The Lancet Global Burden of Disease Study
India carries one of the heaviest loads of sepsis, ARDS, cardiac emergencies, kidney failure, and trauma in the world. 

India faces a 40% shortage of ICU-trained doctors
Corporate hospitals report that 4 out of 10 ICU positions remain vacant due to lack of skilled applicants. 

70% of ICU roles are currently filled by MBBS doctors without formal critical care training
This often leads to delays in recognition, escalation, and interventions — affecting patient outcomes. 

Over 50,000 trained critical care physicians are needed nationally, but fewer than 6,000 are currently available. 

ICU admissions have increased 35% in the last 5 years, driven by: 

• Ageing population 

• Diabetes and NCDs 

• Road traffic accidents 

• Severe infections 

• Postoperative complications 

• Respiratory illnesses 

Rural India has less than 1 trained ICU doctor per 1 lakh population, worsening disparities. 

 This fellowship directly addresses India’s biggest healthcare bottleneck — shortage of ICU-ready clinicians.
By training doctors in airway, ventilation, vascular access, POCUS, shock management, and emergency care, this program empowers them to save lives with precision and confidence.
