Intensive Care Medicine as a Specialty Intensive care medicine is about the combination of high-intensity hands-on care with the rational use of modern technology. It s the human resources of the ICU team, their organization and distribution, and how we apply technology consistently, NOT the genius of individuals or the treatment magic bullet that leads to efficient and effective ICU 1 1. Knaus et al. Ann Intern Med 1986
Types of Specialists practicing ICM N 20,000 Intensive Care Medicine 25% Anaesthesia 52% Cardiology 7% Internal medicine 9% General surgery 1% Neurosurgery 1% Neurology 1% Pulmonology 3% Cardiac Surgery 1%
Most Positive Factors Intellectual stimulation Treating acutely ill patients Application of complex physiology Procedure orientated Dealing with end-of-life issues Most Negative factors Lack of leisure time Stress among faculty Treating chronically ill patients Inconsistent with my personality Dealing with complex ethical issues
The Perfect Storm Increasing demand with static supply
The solution: train more intensive care specialists Fewer, but bigger units
What is a specialty? The Group Government engages with A College governing training and entry to the specialty An accreditation / revalidation process An examination / diploma A quality control framework A fee structure Research
The Road Map to Recognition of ICM
Competency Based Training in Intensive Care Medicine in Europe (& Elsewhere) Covers 42 countries across Europe and also Chile, Costa Rica, Indonesia, India, Hong Kong, USA
41 countries: n = 38 Formal adult ICM training in 36 (95%) 54 different training programmes Variations in structure, duration & format CBT in UK, Canada Ownership 55% supraspeciality (multidisciplinary access with common programme) 30% anaesthesia only 15% multiple subspeciality

Competence-Based Education & Training Knowledge + skills + attitude = COMPETENCE
Competence? Competency-based training? Defines what a practitioner can do, in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes & behaviours Workplace-based assessment of training outcomes Curriculum determined by competencies, not by examination or duration of training Competency-based training focuses attention on the physician solely as craftsman / technician What distinguishes the craftsman from the professional? Attitudes, behaviours & ethics Self-regulation & life-long learning

Development of ICM as Primary Specialty in the UK 1992 Formation of Joint Advisory Committee for ICM by Royal Colleges (JACIT). 1996 Formation of Intercollegiate Board for Training of ICM (ICBTICM). 1999 ICM included in specialist register as joint CCT with base specialty. 2001 Competency based training program launched. 2010 Creation of Faculty of ICM. 2011 Agreement of Primary CCT in ICM
Primary CCT in the UK ICM Program Year 1-2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Year 7 Core training Medicine / anaesthesia/ ICM/ EM ICM Complementary specialty Specialist ICM Paeds/ Neuro / Cardiac ICM ICM
Models of Governance Boards after primary boards 20% director control Open units Medical & surgical units Primary critical care training Specialist diploma 100% directors Closed or semiclosed units Combined units
Criticisms: ICM is considered to be too complex to be covered by one medical speciality alone. as ICM is extremely demanding physically and mentally..physicians who will have to leave ICM after some years due to burnout
What is essential today Attract young physicians to intensive care medicine! Improve the ICU environment Bigger units Better working conditions Dedicated time for life-long learning, research, Convey the right message ICM is a great specialty You can be an intensivist your whole life There are (and will be) reasonnably well-paid job opportunities Quality of patient care is compatible with quality of life for care givers Raise awareness on ICM as a specialty and improve the profile of intensivists
