Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, you should be able to:
- Apply current/recommended critical care guidelines in clinical practice
- Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to critical care disorders
- Identify and apply current therapeutic options for specific critical care disorders
- Analyze and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice in critical care medicine
- Recognize and apply knowledge of pathophysiology as it applies to management of critical care disorders
- Apply knowledge gained to the ABIM certification/recertification critical care examinations
Intended Audience
The primary group of learners will be fellows/trainees and practicing critical care specialists (MDs), and other professional affiliates (internists with an interest in critical care) who are preparing to take ABIM Board Review or Recertification Examinations or who seek CME activities to improve patient care in the area of critical care medicine. This activity is also appropriate for surgeons who want to update their knowledge in critical care. Currently, the target audience is regional, national, and international.
