“…Recognition of the need for the development of skills not testable in an examination came early, with the development of criteria to determine which ICUs were suitable environments for training forming part of initial discussions on training. By 1980, Intensive Care had been recognized as a subspecialty in Australia (28), although formal publication of the Objectives of Training did not occur until 1984 (29). ICM became an independent speciality with the foundation of the College of Intensive Care Medicine in 2010.…”

“…These were a series of learning objectives, with strategies for achieving them. This document formed the basis for both training and examination (29), the latter of which was first held in 1979 (28).

“…Part of this involved the establishment, development and maturation of professional societies which defined the role of the 'Intensivist', including the core competencies and training required. In Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, the 'newness' of intensive care medicine as a speciality is reflected by the fact that the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) first met in 1975 [3], formalising training of Intensivists in 1976 with a specialist College becoming operational in December 2010 [4,5].…”

Background: Intensive care professionals work together within a high-acuity high-stress environment and develop unique clinical and human skill sets within the specialty. The manner in which medical leadership acts, responds, and is understood by those around them is an important component of optimising healthcare. The aim of this study was to explore, qualify and define the self-perceived attributes of senior doctors working in intensive care (Intensivists), and construct 'Intensivist personas' that might provide useful insight for the entire healthcare team.Methods: Using a prospective qualitative design, this study involved face-to-face interviews with 19 Intensivists who each had more than four year's clinical experience. Participants were asked their perceptions of the typical personality traits of a 'flourishing' Intensivist; and how they felt they were viewed by others outside their specialty. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed and attributes were coded using a thematic framework analysis of each transcript using NVivo software. Personas that might represent the contemporary Intensivist were then constructed based on the themes that emerged.Results: More than 700 pages of coded data were extracted from the transcripts. Six personas were built according to how Intensivists saw themselves: the Fixer; the Retriever; the Diplomat; the Negotiator; the Pragmatist; and the Duck. An additional three personas were created relating to how they perceived they were viewed by others': the Superhero; the Naysayer; and the Dictator. Conclusion:This study describes the self-perceived personality traits of modern-day Intensivists and in doing so, adds to the scarce qualitative literature available. Understanding these attributes is important for all who work in intensive care, including nurses who are an integral part of healthcare service delivery.

Background The 3-year training in the critical care medicine (CCM) specialty is a relatively new recognized program in India. This program has been run at a few premier institutes across India over the past few years. Objective The present study aimed to get a critical appraisal of the 3-year training program in CCM from the initial 50 trained Indian intensivists, regarding their research, publications, and self-perceived clinical training adequacy in the various areas of the CCM. Methods This was a prospective cross-sectional study. The list of participants (initial trainees who completed the course between 2015–2021) was compiled by contacting the respective teachers of the institutes that were permitted and recognized by the competent national authority to run a 3-year training course in CCM in India. A questionnaire was developed with questions related to demographic details; self-reports about clinical training program adequacy measured on the Likert scale; and their research area, publications, and current job profiles. After receipt of institutional ethics committee approval, responses from the participants were collected through Google Forms, which were sent through e-mails. Results Responses were received from 51 of 62 participants. Among the 51, the majority were male (43; 84%), and their basic training was in anesthesiology (88%). All of them had conducted at least one mandatory research project; three-fourths were prospective observational. The main areas of research projects were cardiovascular (20%), followed by respiratory (18%), sepsis and infection (18%), and renal (14%). Only less than one-third reported being published in any PubMed-indexed journal, with most as a first authorship (93%). One-fourth to one-third of participants reported inadequate training in areas such as extracorporeal therapies and financial and administrative managerial skills in critical care, followed by cardiac and neurocritical care and research methodology. Eight (16%) underwent further training, including 6 from outside India. Conclusion The present study critically evaluated the 3-year training in the CCM from the perspective of trainees who completed the program in India; highlighting areas of inadequate training such as extracorporeal therapies and financial and administrative managerial skills. Participants reported concern about the training and allocated time for their research and getting it published in an indexed journal.
