critical care

I’ve decided that I want to pursue becoming BCCCP (critical care) certified. For those that have taken it, I have a couple questions for you to decide the best way to study for it: 1) On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it? 2) What areas did you focus on the most and the least? 3) After the exam...

Hello, just matched neurology! I was wondering if the NCC pathways offers a higher salary at the end of the fellowship; I love CC and neurology, but I wouldn’t do a 2 year fellowship if it didn’t pay significantly more… I have 300K in student loans here lol. There’s limited data on this; I found...

Hi, CC fellow here planning to take boards next year in Nov, looking for a study partner. This will be for boards and general fellowship studying. We can do chest seek questions, or some other source. Timing probably will be flexible with availability or can try for a set time. Thanks

Either I'm no good with the search function or no one has yet addressed this: Which critical care medicine fellowships make the CC fellow primary with intubation? I have been told that at Stanford and Northwestern its anesthesia's territory and that CC fellows are not allowed. Can we get a...

Hi everyone. Unsure where to go or what to do, hoping someone can help in some way. The long story is that I’m pretty devastated by my Peds sub-specialty match result, to the point that I’m considering quitting pre-45 days, which I know would jeopardize the specialty for me pretty much...

For a patient with septic shock having a central line, at what dose of levophed would you consider adding vasopressin if the MAP goal of 65 is not maintained? Would you add if levophed is at 15 mcg/min or wait until it max out at 30 mcg/min?

Hello all! I'm looking into military medicine (specifically looking at USUHS, but also at HPSP), and as much as I appreciate this forum, it's hard to replace one-on-one communication. So, if you or someone you know in military medicine is willing to exchange emails or phone calls with me, I...

Hello SDN people. I am currently a 1st yr pulm/CC fellow in a program which shall remain anonymous ( for obvious reasons). I am very much interested in continuing to pursue this field; however I cannot continue in this program for several reasons which I cannot even list here for fear of...

Canadian IMG, did school in Europe. PGY3 applying for Critical Care training in USA. My question is, can I work in Canada as an Intensivist after completing fellowship in USA, or will I have to do extra training? Wondering if it is worth doing CC fellowship here if I can't even do CC in Canada...

this is definitely going to be the most GENERAL question ever, but what does PICU encompass? by that i mean as a first year college student, what is the pathway for getting into PICU? why are YOU interested in PICU? what are subspecialties and are they relevant to studying for PICU? (i.e. does...

Exactly what a head of this post ask. I somehow have a hard time imagining how you can do all of those at once.

Critical Care. I had a question (sort of a multi-part question) in regards to critical care that I wasn’t really able to find a clear cut answer on. I’m aware there are various specialties of medicine, i.e General Surgery, IM, Anesthesiology, and I’m sure a few others, that are able to obtain...

From a couple of my previous posts and my "research" on Reddit I found out that Critical Care is a great speciality that offers variety, you can diagnose, you can do procedures, people are collapsing out of various reasons, it just seems to be a great anti-boring speciality. On the other hand...

Hey SDN community, Wanted to get some perspective about fellowship options. Will be applying for fellowships next year and will be deciding between stroke vs critical care. Wanted to know if there are different job opportunities between the two, as well as compensation, work-life balance from...

Figured it out

So I'm new grad RN in an ICU working on my bachelor's. I *love* my job, but I think I might not have a passion for nursing. The idea of being a med-surg nurse is so outside of my realm of thought. I think it's the care model vs medical model I dislike. I love collaborating with physicians for...

I'm new to critical care and what's confusing me is the different gtts used for sedation, mostly because all my patients are never on the same thing. So I was wondering what's the indication for each. Examples of Different Combinations of Sedation I've had: Fentanyl and Versed gtt Fentanyl...

Hello everyone, Thank you for your time in reading my post. I am interested in going into a critical care fellowship after emergency medicine. Some of my programs are more top tier and would allow me to do so. however, I am really interested in staying in my home town for residency although no...
