Site Maintenance October 29 – November 5
SCCM is currently performing major updates to its digital infrastructure to better serve members. Any website that requires an SCCM Customer ID and password to log in is currently unavailable until November 5, 2024. SCCM Customer Service and staff have limited capabilities, and response times will be longer during this time.
The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Annual Report provides an overview of activities from October 2022 to September 2023. It has been an exciting year full of new milestones and accomplishments.
As we look back at the 52 years since SCCM's foundation and move beyond the worst years of the COVID-19 pandemic, SCCM leadership is pleased to report that the Society is robust and doing more than ever to improve the care of critically ill and injured patients worldwide.
We are living through a time of historic challenge and opportunity. The world faces ongoing economic, social, and geopolitical volatility. We have entered a new age of technology through artificial intelligence that may fundamentally transform productivity and patient care. The number of clinicians working in intensive care units has fallen as many, frustrated and exhausted, have left the field, resulting in an acute shortage of clinicians and increasing patients’ vulnerability.
This annual report demonstrates how SCCM’s programs are thriving overall. SCCM's traditional major activities such as educational programs for trained critical care clinicians, which were heavily impacted during the pandemic, have begun to recover. The growth of newer activities, such as the Society’s research and humanitarian programs that flourished during the pandemic, continue to grow during this period of transition.
