KIMS Fellowship FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between Fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care and Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine at KIMS?
Ans. Fellowship in Pediatric Critical Care is designed for paediatricians and focuses on critical illness management in infants and children, covering PICU protocols, paediatric ventilation, and neonatal emergencies. Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine targets adult intensivists (doctors with MD Medicine or Anaesthesia background) and covers adult ICU management, multi-organ failure, and advanced life support. The Fellowship in Critical Care Nursing is a separate track for nursing professionals.
Ques. Is a KIMS Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine recognised by the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM)?
Ans. KIMS is a NAAC ’A’ accredited quaternary care hospital. Fellowship programme recognition by ISCCM or other professional bodies depends on the specific programme’s accreditation status. Candidates should verify whether the KIMS Fellowship in Critical Care Medicine carries ISCCM affiliation or IFCCM certification before enrolling, as this affects recognition for senior intensivist positions at certain hospitals.
Ques. What are the career prospects after completing a KIMS Fellowship in Critical Care?
Ans. Fellowship completers in Critical Care can work as intensivists or senior critical care specialists in hospital ICUs. With the growing number of multi-specialty hospitals and ICU expansions in India, trained intensivists are in strong demand. The KIMS Fellowship certificate from a NAAC ’A’ accredited institution adds credibility for hospital appointments and helps candidates transition into dedicated critical care roles beyond their base specialty.
Ques. Can candidates from outside Odisha apply for KIMS Fellowship programmes?
Ans. Yes. KIMS Fellowship programmes are open to candidates from all states. There is no state domicile restriction. Candidates apply directly to KIMS and appear for the internal written entrance examination. Non-Odisha candidates who clear the entrance exam are eligible for seat allotment.
Ques. Does KIMS provide accommodation or stipend for Fellowship candidates?
Ans. KIMS has hostel facilities available on campus for students and trainees, subject to availability and applicable charges. Whether a stipend is provided to Fellowship candidates depends on the specific programme and current KIMS policy. Candidates should confirm accommodation and stipend details directly with the KIMS Fellowship programme coordinator before applying.
