RICU Course: Resident Online ICU Course 

Welcome to the newly updated Resident ICU (RICU) education web site! The Resident ICU web site comprises two programs designed to help residents improve their knowledge base during their critical care rotation. The Adult ICU (AICU) program was developed for the adult critical care resident rotation and the Pediatric ICU (PICU) program was developed for the pediatric critical care rotation.

The site permits free worldwide access to educational presentations on core curriculum topics for medical students and residents in Critical Care Medicine but are also available to all interested healthcare professionals. Experts in the corresponding fields have authored these presentations.

The presentations are designed for self-study or can be used as a template for didactic sessions conducted by attending physicians or their designees. This permits the incorporation of examples from your current ICU patients, the unique demographics at your institution, and regional practice styles into your discussion or presentations. The RICU course contains both a pre-test and a post-test to assess the knowledge base of the trainee and objectively determine knowledge accrual during the course of the rotation.
