Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) Course

Evanston, IL US
May 20, 2021 to May 21, 2021
Hospitals are hiring more and more hospitalists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants as an economic solution to shortages in physicians with specialized training in critical care medicine. The complexity of the critical care environment demands a minimum level of knowledge, skills, and attitude to manage the care of critically ill patients. Non-critical care clinicians often do not have a formal orientation program or training as critical care physicians. An effective program would incorporate didactic and simulation scenarios to assess competence and teach evidence-based practice while maintaining patient safety and quality care.
 
The FCCS course offers an approach to initial management of the critically ill patient for providers not formally trained in critical care.

Target Audience

This educational activity is designed for physicians, nurses, APNs, and other healthcare professionals dedicated to the management of critically ill patients.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the activity, participants will be able to:

  • Prioritize assessment needs for critically ill and injured patients;
  • Select appropriate diagnostic tests for critically ill and injured patients;
  • Identify how to respond to significant changes in unstable patients;
  • Describe how to initiate the management of acute life threatening conditions;
  • Determine when expert consultation or patient transfer is advisable.
