“The multidisciplinary focus sets SCCM apart from other organizations involving physicians. It understands that only with teamwork can we move the needle. And Congress is a great meeting that continues to evolve, remain relevant, provocative, and enlightening.”
“SCCM promotes quality of critical care worldwide and their actions certainly prove it. On a personal level, the webinars and online educational programs help make educational resources more accessible and allow me to stay updated without the need for long distance travel. In terms of the region and the country, over the past several years, we have conducted conferences, workshops, and Fundamental Critical Care Support courses with major support from SCCM.”
“As a dietitian, I have the opportunity to rub elbows with some of the greatest critical care practitioners of the past few decades. Understanding their perspectives allows me to expand and improve my own practice. The Society allows all members to get out of their siloes and envision what is possible when we work as a team.”
“SCCM is my professional home – for critical care, pediatrics, nursing, and advanced practice – a combination that cannot be found in any other membership or professional organization.”
WHY IT MATTERS
More exposure and participation in advancing education, knowledge and performance by critical care team professionals worldwide translates into refined best practices, innovative new techniques and technologies, and measurable improvements in patient care.
