VCCR: Adult

​Prepare students, residents, and fellows to better participate in their intensive care unit (ICU) rounds. VCCR, the enhanced replacement for the Adult Resident ICU (RICU) program, features:

• Professionally-narrated modules with clear learning objectives, engaging case studies, interactive questions, and a list of additional resources for further exploration 
• An extensive topic selection with lectures developed by content experts on each subject 
• SCCM’s efficient, learning management platform, which allows program directors to view and monitor participants’ progress throughout the courses

Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
