What is the Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) Course?
The Society of Critical Care Medicine’s (SCCM) internationally renowned two-day FCCS course is the go-to resource for training non-intensivists, house staff, nurses, or other critical care practitioners how to manage critically ill and injured patients effectively.
Through didactic lectures, small group discussion with clinical scenario questions and skill stations with hands-on instruction and experience, the FCCS course will help to disseminate basic concepts of critical care to all professionals who may be called upon to care for severely ill patients.
The FCCS course offers new pre-and post-tests for measuring participants’ growth as well as an online administrative binder, which contains the policies, processes and tools needed to offer a successful course.
Individuals who successfully complete the required provider or instructor course will receive a Certificate of Successful Completion.
Why should I attend the FCCS course?
The FCCS Course offers an approach to initial management of the critically ill patient for providers not formally trained in critical care. Participants will learn useful information about the extended care of critically ill patients, especially care related to mechanical ventilation, monitoring, organ hypoperfusion, and neurological support. Providers will receive guidance for acute problems encountered in the ICU and for sudden patient deterioration.
