Connect with colleagues, network and collaborate with critical care experts, and explore new tools, technologies and processes at the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s (SCCM) 47th Critical Care Congress. The Society’s Congress is the largest critical care event that brings together all members of the multiprofessional, multidisciplinary team. This four-day event will feature internationally renowned faculty and content sessions highlighting the most up-to-date, evidence-based developments in critical care medicine.

Receive acknowledgment as an educational partner by supporting the educational programming at Congress through an unrestricted medical education grant. All Congress programs are packed with essential clinical information to keep practitioners informed on various critical care topics. Choose from the following:

CE/CME Symposia
Held in the morning and during lunch, these programs promote improvement in healthcare and give a balanced view of available therapeutic options for all intensive care practitioners. The CE/CME symposia are supported by unrestricted independent educational grants and comply with industry guidelines. SCCM is the CE provider for these events, and all presentation topics, faculty and objectives are approved by SCCM to ensure that content is unbiased and meets established goals. For an incremental fee, enduring material options are available to reach learners beyond the live event.

Educational Sessions
Support a concurrent session or select pre-Congress courses. Options available include supporting a live session, an enduring webcast (which includes CE/CME for a year) or both. Because these are CE/CME sessions, no influence by industry is allowed in the program content or speaker selection.
