Intensive care medicine

Þessi námsþáttur er frábrugðinn öðrum að nokkru leyti. Hann er talsvert viðameiri og stærri en hinir og samanstendur af innihaldsmiklum atriðum sem tengja má æfingablöð við. Mælt er með að vinna í þessum námsþætti í gegnum árin tvö sérnáminu og ekki að vænta að honum sé lokið fyrr en undir lok tveggja ára.

Intensive care medicine – core learning outcomes

At least one piece of suitable evidence is required for each of the relevant competencies. One assessment can be used to cover multiple curriculum competencies. The ‘Assessment Tools’ column describes what type of workplace-based assessment is suitable for each competency. Other types of evidence may be used to demonstrate competencies, as described in ‘Additional Assessment Tools Key’ below. Please ensure that the numbering of evidence items in this table matches that in your portfolio.’CAT Target Level’ indicates the final competency level for this stage of training. Trainees should not normally be marked higher than these levels at the end of CAT unless in exceptional circumstances with accompanying evidence. Please see the full ICM Syllabus for details of the knowledge, skills and behaviours which make up each competency. Those competencies which must be achieved in the 3/12 Basic ICM block are delineated below. ICM curriculum competencies which have been cross-mapped as achievable either within the 3/12 Basic ICM module or elsewhere in Core Anaesthesia Training are shown separately in the second section of the Grid. These competencies are not mandatorily assessed in the 3/12 Basic ICM module but Core Anaesthesia trainees are encouraged to map their cross-specialty competency achievement. This will enable easy demonstration of competency acquisition should they later wish to Dual accredit in ICM. Please note that all competencies listed below is mandatory for ICM Intermediate sign off
