SCCM Resource Library-SCCM Hosted Training Courses Are Key in Preparing for Crisis Management

Pdf Summary

The Winter 2023 issue of Critical Connections spotlights the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s (SCCM) initiatives in training healthcare professionals globally for crisis management. SCCM offers a variety of Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) courses designed to equip nonintensivists with the skills to manage critically ill patients for the initial 24 hours or until specialized care is available. These courses include specialties such as pediatrics, obstetrics, and surgical care, with a focus on resource-limited settings and crisis management.<br /><br />Dr. Mary J. Reed, a prominent figure in crisis management training, has taught and developed multiple courses worldwide, significantly impacting critical care education, particularly in resource-limited areas like Sudan and during emergencies like the Haiti earthquake. Her work has been pivotal in establishing critical care as a recognized specialty in several countries.<br /><br />Dr. Michael J. Waxman has also significantly contributed to expanding critical care education, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, by transitioning training to an online format, which allowed him to reach under-resourced countries such as Mongolia and Nigeria. His adaptability illustrates the broadening access to expert critical care training.<br /><br />Noormahal Kabani, MD, works as an FCCS instructor in the US and has extended her expertise to train hospital staff in Tajikistan through technology-based learning, overcoming language barriers and regional challenges. Her efforts have enhanced local healthcare professionals' capabilities to manage critically ill patients effectively.<br /><br />Lastly, Dr. Nibras F. Bughrara’s work at Albany Medical Center has introduced innovative methods for teaching point-of-care ultrasound, utilizing SCCM's curriculum to provide standardized and effective training across the US and potentially international institutions. His initiatives have simplified and expanded critical care ultrasound training, making it accessible to a broader range of healthcare providers.<br /><br />Together, these professionals exemplify the SCCM’s efforts to globalize critical care training, adapting strategies to meet diverse and challenging healthcare environments, ultimately improving patient care outcomes worldwide.
