About this course
Training together as members of an interprofessional critical care team is essential for providing high-quality care. In this course, you’ll receive leading-edge updates on best practices for team-based ICU care, ranging from ultrasound procedures to airway management methods.
Leaders in critical care education will teach state-of-the-art techniques relevant to every critical care provider, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Through hands-on simulations and live models for ultrasound, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot mechanical ventilation challenges, perform bedside critical care ultrasound, and more.
Return to your practice with greater mastery of the everyday skills you use in the ICU, and prepare to serve your patients with even higher levels of expertise and care.
