Conference overview:
The FCCS curriculum is intended to introduce principles important in the initial care of critically ill/injured patients to physicians, physicians-in-training, nurses, and other healthcare providers who may or may not be skilled in critical care but who must care for such patients during early stabilization and in anticipation of the arrival of an intensivist, specialist, or pending transfer of a patient to a tertiary center.

• Prioritize assessment needs for the critically ill patient
• Identify appropriate diagnostic tests for the critically ill patient
• Recognize and initiate management of acute life-threatening conditions
• Identify and respond to significant changes in the unstable patient
• Recognize the need for patient transfer and prepare practitioners for optimally
accomplishing transfer.
