Fundamental Critical Care Support: Resource Limited Hosted Course

Host an FCCS: Resource Limited course and prepare healthcare professionals to care critically ill and injured patients in resource-limited areas.

The Society of Critical Care Medicine's (SCCM) hosted Fundamental Critical Care Support: Resource Limited (FCCS: RL) course combines expert-developed lectures with interactive skill stations to prepare healthcare professionals for the unique challenges faced when resources are limited and the impact these limitations have on providing critical care.

The FCCS: RL course is designed for healthcare professionals who may encounter critically ill or injured patients in resource-limited environments. Participants will learn about managing resource limitations, resource allocation, triage, and ethical implications. The course focuses on a minimum-better-best paradigm for identifying monitoring and treatment strategies in the setting of austerity or resource limitation. Caregivers must have a clear understanding of available medical experience and skills, evacuation capabilities and timelines, equipment, medications, and other supplies.

A key aspect of FCCS: RL is the use of telemedicine to obtain essential subspecialty advice and procedural guidance when transport is delayed.

The course features:

In-person learning format
Interactive presentations
Case-based skill stations
Pre- and posttests
Companion textbook
Certificate of successful course completion
Continuing education credit hours (if offered by the course site)

FCCS: RL is available in a live, hosted format for institutions to provide training for healthcare professionals.

To receive the certificate of successful completion, course participants must attend all didactic lectures, successfully complete all skill stations, and achieve a score of 70% or higher on the posttest.

DescriptionLectures and Skill StationsPricingCourse Planning

Hosting sites are encouraged to train and run the course as many times as they like and can purchase additional course access for learners as often as needed. Because there is no separate license fee, there is no expiration date for running the course as long as the site has purchased learner access.

SCCM will continue to support fair and flexible pricing using its tiered pricing structure. Pricing tiers are based on a country’s gross domestic product at purchasing power parity per capita as reported by the World Bank in its most current World Development Indicators database. This allows SCCM to accommodate ranges in needs and available financial resources.

For-profit sites, U.S. government and military sites, and sites interested in training more than 1000 learners for Fundamentals courses are encouraged to contact the Hosted Training Team to discuss pricing.

Number of Learners*	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3
1-99	$21	$58	$110
100-499	Custom	Custom	$105
500-999	Custom	Custom	$98

*Course access for learners per single purchase

In addition to payment methods currently in place, the hosted training model will allow sites to pay with a credit card online. Full payment will be required before accessing course materials. Please consider this when planning your course.
