Discover the Latest Trends in Critical Care Medicine
The Brigham Board Review in Critical Care Medicine is a wide-ranging review of the essential topics in the field. It highlights best practice guidelines for the management of various emergency situations encountered in critical care along with the latest developments and helps you stay informed. Led by Gerald L. Weinhouse, MD, it covers a wide range of topics like hemorrhagic shock, sepsis, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmias, approach to the comatose patient, acid-base disorders, and ore. It will help you to better:
• Apply current/recommended critical care guidelines in clinical practice
• Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to critical care disorders
• Apply the latest therapeutic options for specific critical care disorders
• Evaluate and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice
• Apply knowledge of pathophysiology in the management of critical care disorders
• Prepare for ABIM critical care medicine certification/recertification exams
• Incorporate new knowledge into daily practice to provide optimal care to patients

Learning Objectives
After viewing this program, participants should be able to:
• Apply current/recommended critical care guidelines in clinical practice
• Perform differential diagnosis of complex clinical presentations related to critical care disorders
• Identify and apply current therapeutic options for specific critical care disorders
• Analyze and interpret up-to-date literature relevant to clinical practice in critical care medicine
• Recognize and apply knowledge of pathophysiology as it applies to management of critical care disorders
