Do you feel like your critical care training is missing something?
It’s not just you. We hear it every day from PAs, NPs, house staff, nurses—they’re dropped into the ICU and expected to learn the job. But how?
“Immersion.” You show up and figure it out. And eventually, you do. But…
The only things you learn by immersion are the essentials. You learn how to get through your day… talk to patients, make some calls, write some notes.
You see some things, and learn some things. But you don’t learn how or why.
You’re missing the didactics. The core principles. Someone to tell you, “This is what diseases look like and this is how we treat them.” And you never learn what you don’t see. You turn into a mere technician.
Unfortunately, most ICUs aren’t equipped to offer a strong didactic curriculum. It requires passionate educators, a committed system, and an institution that cares about more than just your labor.
That’s where we come in. We’ve spent the past 15 years teaching medicine online using blogs, videos, social media, and our popular podcast Critical Care Scenarios (now with >300 episodes and hundreds of thousands of downloads).
With that experience, we built the Intensive Care Academy. Inside, you’ll find:
A growing library of >50 hours of studio-quality HD videos, teaching everything from sepsis to central lines. We share our practice, some useful approaches, and the studies and guidelines you should know.
Three subscriber-only podcast feeds, including ways to view or listen to lessons on-the-go.
>30 hours of continuing medical education credits.
Live Q&A sessions with the instructors
Lesson notes, outlines, and references.
Whether you work in the MICU, SICU, neurosciences unit, CCU, CTICU, or beyond, there’s no better way to expand your training. Click below to check it out.
