Suggested Curriculum for Tier 4 Physicians
General ICU Care
Tier 4 physicians are expected to assist with the day-to-day care of ICU patients but would not be responsible for running a team or caring for patients independently . We recommend reviewing the following topics to fulfill this role if they are not already familiar to you. Topics highlighted in RED are critical for your learning; topics highlighted in YELLOW are important for your learning; topics highlighted in GREEN are for your future reference or advanced learning; topics highlighted in BLUE can be used as a "just in time" resource.
You will identify a hyperlink associated with each curriculum item due to the
educational resources for that item. For a small number of these items,
materials will be available shortly.
