Undergraduate medical education in critical care

Abstract: Undergraduate medical education in critical care would be advanced by consolidation and organization into formal curricula. These would teach biomedical and humanistic skills essential to critical care but valuable in all medical settings. Early, well-planned exposure to critical care as a distinct discipline might increase student interest in careers in the field. The effects of educational interventions on the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes, and skills as well as long-term career choice should be subjec… Show more
