Structured Training and Education Programme of ICCCM

About STEP ICCCM

We are pleased to introduce STEP ICCCM which is a Structured Training and Education Programme of ICCCM exclusively for our members.

The STEP (Structured Training and education Programme) was envisioned and initiated by the senior leadership of ICCCM(Indian College of Critical Care Medicine) in 2020 is an attempt to provide regular biweekly high quality online interactive lectures on various key critical care topics to all our members, and students pursuing IDCCM, IDCCM overseas, IFCCM and CTCCM courses .The COVID-19 pandemic had made regular teaching programs at hospitals extremely challenging across our country. The programme was introduced also with the aim of attaining certain uniformity in the content and quality critical care education across this country.The objective is not only to prepare our students for the examinations, but to make them high quality intensivists both in knowledge and practice. A STEP-N was also introduced soon to provide high quality teaching to nursing colleagues.

The STEP lectures are delivered and moderated by eminent teaching faculty who are fellows of ICCCM, and have become extremely popular among critical care physicians and trainees across this country.There will be no didactic lectures, it will be interactive class room teaching. We have been utilising a combination of system wise case-based discussions, clinical problem solving, journal clubs, interpretation of biochemical tests and imaging, and other key investigations including ABG, ECG, X-rays etc. The teaching curricula are frequently reviewed and updated.

You will have to be a life member /associate life member of ISCCM (for Indian citizens), or life member of the ISCCM (Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine) from SAARC countries to be able to attend these lectures free of cost. All trainees of ISCCM programs like IDCCM, IDCCM overseas, IFCCM & CTCCM can also join these lectures free of cost. All other international members (not mentioned above) need to pay a nominal fee of INR 8500/- to get access to the STEP sessions.
