Fundamental Critical Care Support Hosted Course

Equip healthcare professionals with the tools they need to provide bedside care for patients who are or may become critically ill. The Society of Critical Care Medicine's (SCCM) hosted Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) course combines expert-developed learning with interactive skill stations to provide nonintensivists and healthcare professionals with the realistic training they need to manage critically ill patients for the first 24 hours or until an appropriate critical care consultation can be arranged. The course concentrates on adult critical care and includes separate sections on critical care for pregnant and surgical patients.

To receive the certificate of successful completion, course participants must complete or attend all assigned presentations and skill stations, achieve a score of 70% or higher on the posttest, and complete the learner evaluation.
