PFCCS is a 2-day in-person course offered by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), developed to prepare non-intensivists to manage the care of critically ill pediatric patients until transfer or appropriate critical care consultation can be arranged. The 2-day course includes a series of presentations and skill stations from PICU/ED faculty/staff designed to provide knowledge, guidance for decision making, and limited practice in some clinical procedures and scenarios. Please see attached flyer for additional information.
The target audience include nursing staff including charge RNs, APNs, EMS/ED personnel, residents/fellows PGY-2 and above, chief residents, hospitalists, respiratory therapists and others who take care of pediatric patients. Both UB/non-UB personnel are welcome to register.
The participants obtain pediatric CME (15.5 AMA Category-1) for the 2-day attendance, as well as completion certificate for qualified candidates after post-test. 3rd edition of PFCCS textbook from SCCM with latest guidelines is available upon registration for the course. Breakfast, lunch, snacks for the 2-day duration is included in the course fee. This session is limited to 20 participants, first come first served basis.
