Course description
The Critical Care course (CCC) is conducted in the teaching hospitals in each Clinical School. The CCC aims to teach the student the skills, knowledge and attitudes involved in managing patients with critical illness as outlined in the critical care curriculum. This includes competencies in relation to the three critical care disciplines: 1. Critical illness requiring Intensive Care Unit (ICU) consultation &/or admission 2. Urgencies, Emergencies & Undifferentiated presentations in Emergency Medicine (EM) 3. Urgent, Emergent and Elective Anaesthetics The CCC also includes competencies in relation to Intern preparedness for: 1. Recognising & managing critical illness in inpatient wards; and 2. Working in an EM rotation (mandatory in the Australian setting) The majority of students' time in each of the three disciplines will be clinical contact with some small group tutorial teaching. It is supported by an online module program and reflective clinical workbooks.
