What is an Intensivist?

An intensivist is a board-certified physician who provides special care for critically ill patients. Also known as a critical care physician, the intensivist has advanced training and experience in treating this complex type of patient.

What Kind of Training does an Intensivist Have?

After medical school, an intensivist completes a residency and board certification in a specialty such as surgery, internal medicine, pulmonary medicine or pediatrics, plus an additional two- to three-year fellowship and certification in critical care medicine.

Volunteering is a wonderful way to gain exposure to the medical community, explore careers, enhance your knowledge and give back to UMass Memorial Health. We offer unique volunteer programs for both adults and teens. Through volunteering, you’ll find a challenging and satisfying experience while performing a valuable service to the staff and a warm and caring environment for patients and their families.
