This Fundamentals of Critical Care Support course is designed for the entire team and will review the basic tenets of quality critical care practice including the standardization of care and evidence-based medicine.

This course is ideal for hospitalists, critical care pharmacists, critical care nurses and allied health professionals working in an intensive care unit.

Following this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Identify the immediate needs of the critically ill patient
