“…RECC fellowship represents a subspecialization of emergency medicine (EM) training designed to develop and refine the clinical and cognitive skills necessary to produce leaders that can excel in the delivery and oversight of high-quality ED-based critical care. 20 Fellows focus on the nuanced management of hyperacute, undifferentiated patients for the duration of their ED course, from initial presentation through disposition. RECC programs build on and refine the resuscitation knowledge taught in EM residency and add the skills necessary for the ongoing early management of the critically ill ED patient.…”

“…Undoubtedly, EM/CC physicians are integral to the success of any ED focused on the delivery of high‐quality critical care; however, EM/CC physicians commonly split their time between the ED and ICU settings whereas RECC graduates practice exclusively in the ED (Table 1). 20,28 Furthermore, the skills acquired in RECC fellowship are valuable in any ED setting, including community settings or EDs without ED‐ICUs or RCUs where EM/CC leaders are less common.…”

The volume of critically ill patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) is increasing rapidly. Continued growth will likely further stress an already strained U.S. health care system. Numerous studies have demonstrated an association with worsened outcomes for critically ill patients boarding in the ED. To address the increasing volume and complexity of critically ill patients presenting to EDs nationwide, resuscitation and emergency critical care (RECC) fellowships were developed. RECC programs teach a general approach to the management of the undifferentiated critically ill patient, advanced management of critically ill patients by disease presentation, and ongoing supportive care of the critically ill patient boarding in the ED. The result is critical care training beyond that of a typical emergency medicine (EM) residency with a focus on the unique features and challenges of caring for critically ill patients in the ED not normally found in critical care fellowships. Graduates from RECC fellowships are well suited to practicing in any ED practice model and may be especially well prepared for EDs that distinguish acuity between zones (e.g., resuscitative care units, ED‐based intensive care units). In addition to further developing clinical acumen, RECC fellowships provide graduates with a niche in EM education, research, and administration. In this article, we describe the philosophical principles and practical components necessary for the creation of future RECC fellowships.
