This instructional program class comprises any residency training program that prepares physicians in the management of care for patients with acutely life-threatening conditions which may include multiple organ failure. These programs include courses in the management of critical care units, emergency procedures and post-discharge care of former critical care patients. Requires prior completion of a program in anesthesiology, internal medicine, or obstetrics and gynecology. Note: critical care anesthesiology is no longer a medical subspecialty, but anesthesiologists may complete a subspecialty in critical care medicine.
