Canadian Critical Care Review (CCCR)


 June 7-9, 2024 at the Toronto Airport Marriot Hotel, Toronto ON

The Canadian Critical Care Review is held annually and is designed specifically to meet the educational needs of practicing intensivists and critical care trainees. It addresses the clinical challenges faced both during the Royal College subspecialty examinations in critical care and in professional practice. The review course is intended as a knowledge consolidation and assessment exercise.

National Acute Critical Event Simulation (N-ACES)


Save the date: July 3-5, 2024 in Clinical Simulation Centre, Queen’s University Kingston, ON

This annual course is an excellent opportunity for residents to network and meet their colleagues from across the country and a shared start to their training will help foster lifelong friendships and collaborations. The goal of N-ACES is to rapidly upgrade the trainees’ knowledge and skills in the early management of critically ill patients. The course follows a small group learning approach using multiple modes of instruction, including a high proportion of experiential learning through a variety of simulation modalities (e.g. facilitated virtual case scenarios, phone simulation, etc.) and interactive group sessions with expert critical care faculty.


Resuscitation Course for Acute Medicine Practicing Physicians (ReCAPP)

Resuscitation Course for Acute medicine Practicing Physicians (ReCAPP) has been designed to provide a high-quality, interactive educational opportunity for Canadian practicing physicians who are involved in the initial or ongoing care of acutely unstable patients, increasingly cared for outside the walls of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

This full-day course, delivered by a group of Canadian critical care physician-educators, will offer to its participants numerous opportunities for practice and formative feedback, in a non-judgmental, low-risk, informal learning environment. Our main goal is to create conditions where physicians can learn together and from each other how to care for their sickest patients, and ultimately, improve the quality of care received by critically ill patients.

17th World Congress on Intensive and Critical Care Medicine
