Pediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS) is a two-day comprehensive course addressing fundamental management principles for the first 24 hours of post-resuscitation management of the critically ill pediatric patient until transfer or appropriate critical care consultation can be arranged.
This course will be held over 2 consecutive days, from 8 am to 5 pm.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Community Medical Center will host all course activities, which will be taught by pediatric intensivists from Community Children's, Seattle Children's and The University of Washington, all certified PFCCS instructors through the Society of Critical Care Medicine. A textbook will be provided prior to the course. Please allow enough time to review it beforehand; we suggest at least two months for review.
