Burn Reconstruction
Clinical, Academic
Indiana
University
offers
two
positions
as
a
twelve
month
fellowship
(July
through
June)
focusing
on
all
clinical
aspects
of
acute
and
reconstructive
burn
care
in
both
the
adult
and
pediatric
population.
The
Richard
M.
Fairbanks
Burn
Center
at
Eskenazi
Hospital
houses
a
fifteen
bed
inpatient
burn
unit,
all
beds
with
ICU
capabilities,
in
addition
to
private
burn
operating
rooms,
procedure
rooms,
multi-disciplinary
ancillary
services,
and
the
outpatient
clinic.
There
are
300
admissions
and
500
outpatient
burns
seen
annually.
The
burn
team
is
led
by
the
plastic
surgery
division
with
assistance
from
the
surgical
and
pulmonary
critical
care
teams
in
managing
burn
resuscitations,
inhalation
injuries,
burn
physiology
derangements,
wound
care,
and
surgical
debridements
and
wound
closure
in
our
acute
burn
patients.
The
Speedway
Burn
Unit
at
Riley
Hospital
for
Children
houses
a
10
bed
burn
unit,
which
is
within
walking
distance
from
the
adult
hospital.
There
are
120
admissions
and
400
outpatient
burns
seen
annually.
There
are
dedicated
advanced
practice
providers
to
assist
with
daily
patient
care,
outpatient
evaluations,
and
coordinating
burn
reconstructions.
The
burn
team,
with
assistance
from
the
PICU
services,
manages
all
medical
aspects
of
acute
burn
care
along
with
the
surgical
debridements,
wound
closures,
and
reconstructive
procedures.
The
fellows
have
the
opportunity
to
not
only
participate
in
acute
burn
management,
but
also
outside
hospital
acceptance,
pre-hospital
management,
post-burn
reconstruction,
traumatic
road
rash
injuries,
and
desquamating
dermatologic
conditions.
Providers
are
utilizing
advanced
wound
coverage
techniques
including
spray
skin
cells,
cultured
epithelial
autografts,
and
dermal
regenerative
templates
in
addition
to
traditional
autografting.
The
reconstructive
opportunities
are
robust
as
all
patients
are
followed
long
term
by
the
plastic
surgery
providers
offering
laser
treatments,
scar
revisions,
fat
grafting,
contracture
releases,
and
tissue
expansion
if
indicated.
On
call
responsibilities
are
rotating
in
a
home
call
format,
assisted
by
other
residents
and
advanced
practice
providers.
The
fellows
are
expected
to
participate
in
clinical
research
with
the
support
of
the
burn
unit
resources,
focused
around
some
aspect
of
burn
care,
and
submit
work
to
one
of
the
regional
or
the
annual
national
burn
meeting
for
presentation.
There
are
weekly
conferences
on
Monday
mornings
as
case
indications
discussions
and

mornings

around
a
topic
in

and

surgery.

and

conference
at

quarterly.

the
fellows
will
be
expected
to
be
competent
in
taking
care
of
burn

as
well
as
their
long
term
reconstructive
needs.
