**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 isn’t enough

You’re expected to show up and figure it out. And you try. But the only things you learn by immersion are the essentials: how to get through your day, talk to patients, make some calls, write some notes. You see some things, and learn some tricks. 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.” You turn into a mere technician. And you never learn anything you don't happen to see.

Teaching critical care is tough. Most ICUs just 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:

Self-directed video lessons

A growing library of >50 hours of studio-quality HD videos, teaching everything from sepsis to central lines.

Podcast feeds

Three subscriber-only podcast feeds, with additional content and options to view or listen to lessons on-the-go.

30+ CME credits

Over 30 hours of continuing medical education credits.

Live Q & A sessions

Live Q & A sessions with the instructors.

Lesson materials

Lesson notes, outlines, and references.

Built for all ICUs

MICU, SICU, neuro, CCU, CTICU and beyond.

What members say

“As a critical care NP with over 15 years of experience, I really appreciate the Intensive Care Academy. The videos are engaging, practical, and easy to follow, and the instructors make complex critical care concepts approachable. I also love that Brandon and Bryan are continually adding new content and addressing multiple different critical care specialties. Whether you are building your foundation or looking to reinforce and expand your existing critical care experience, Intensive Care Academy is a valuable educational resource.”
