CCM-6952 Critical Care Medicine: Practice-Based Learning and Procedures

Trainees learn the approach to the evaluation and management of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, interactions with other medical professionals regarding these patients, and appropriate communication regarding care of critically ill with patients and family members. Graded responsibility is an important part of the learning experience; objectives and expectations change as a trainee progresses through the clinical years.   On rotation, the trainee serves on a team led by an attending member of the ICU Faculty, where the trainee is responsible for resident supervision and is expected to be involved in all aspects of medical decision-making and patient care during the time that they are assigned clinical responsibility.
