The Canadian Critical Care Society is the National Specialty
Society, representing Adult and Paediatric Critical Care
Medicine physicians in Canada. The practice of Critical
Care Medicine in Canada is multidisciplinary and CCCS members
hold base specialty certification in anaesthesia, medicine,
paediatrics, emergency medicine or surgery and some surgical
subspecialties such as cardiac surgery and neurosurgery.
Our mission is to promote and enhance Critical Care Medicine
in Canada. We espouse the philosophy of collaborative multidisciplinary
practice to promote research, education and patient care
in Critical Care Medicine. To that end, our Society is involved
in Critical Care Medicine education in association with
the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada,
and in CCM research with the Canadian
Critical Care Trials Group.
Our annual meeting occurs in conjunction with the Canadian
Critical Care Forum the CCCS welcomes new members
and participation in our societies’ activities.

As part of its mandate to design an integrated Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplant (OTDT) system in collaboration with the OTDT community the Canadian Blood Services is investigating the various potential models of physician donation specialists, including successful international models and evolving provincial models. The CBS has developed a comprehensive, collaborative planning session being held in conjunction with the Canadian Critical Care Meeting in Whistler, Feb 21 and 22 2011. The goals are to propose roles, responsibilities, qualifications, resource models, structure and accountability mechanisms for physician donation specialist roles to be established in tertiary care centres in Canada.
