SCCM Publications
Staying ahead of the latest advances in critical care technology and research can be a challenge as new and innovative findings continually improve the practice of critical care. The Society publishes a number of peer-reviewed journals, newsletters, and books all directed toward improving the care of the critically ill and injured.
Critical Care Medicine
The profession's most prestigious publication, Critical Care Medicine, was founded by the Society in 1972. The journal, to which more than 15,000 critical care professionals and libraries worldwide subscribe, covers all aspects of acute and emergency care for the critically ill or injured patient, including the latest news on clinical breakthroughs and promising research. It is the most frequently cited journal in the field. The Critical Care Medicine Editorial Board is comprised of international leaders in critical care and led by Editor in Chief Joseph E. Parrillo, MD, FCCM.
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine
In July 2000, SCCM and the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies launched a new journal, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, devoted exclusively to pediatric and neonatal intensive care medicine. Patrick M. Kochanek, MD, FCCM, serves as the Editor in Chief.
Critical Connections
Critical Connections is the critical care industry's only news magazine. The bi-monthly newsletter features late-breaking topics in critical care and healthcare, as well as information about the Society of Critical Care Medicine, membership, chapters, sections, and educational programs.
Other Publications
In addition to its high-quality peer-reviewed journals and newsletter, SCCM also publishes information designed to assist critical care practitioners, at varying stages of their careers, in the evaluation of core knowledge and in preparation for critical care subspecialty board examinations. These products can be reveiwed in SCCM's Product Catalog and purchased in SCCM's Online Store. Information on subspecialty board examination preparation can be found on the Multidisciplinary Critical Care Knowledge Assessment Program (MCCKAP) page.
