Critical Care Interprofessional Education
We offer a Critical Care Interprofessional Education Series designed to deliver core critical care concepts and enlighten evidence-based medicine by critical appraisal of literature. Exposure to interprofessional learning is known to improve professional identity and attitudes toward teamwork in the workplace environment. Such teamwork and collaboration is vital in the critical care setting, as the interprofessional team model is known to improve quality of care. The Critical Care Interprofessional Education Series is composed of three major components: interactive case-based conferences covering core critical care concepts, journal club discussions evaluating current critical care literature and its application to clinical practice across specialties, and Critical Care Grand Rounds featuring esteemed internal and external guest speakers. Previous conferences and Grand Rounds presentations can be accessed here.
The objectives of the Critical Care Interprofessional Education Series include:
- Educating on the diagnosis and management of disease states that are common amongst all critically ill patients
- Providing updated literature in critical care diagnosis and treatment
- Establishing an avenue to discuss the latest research updates or research initiatives in Critical Care
- Highlighting the expert opinion of critical care practitioners
- Promoting collaboration amongst the faculty and staff across various specialty areas and disciplines within critical care and building relationships among students, residents, fellows, faculty, and staff within our critical care service line.
