Critical Care Medicine

Critical care medicine is a medical sub-specialty concerned with the diagnosis and management of life threatening conditions requiring sophisticated organ support and invasive monitoring for critically ill patients. Critical care medicine encompasses treatment in a broad range of conditions requiring knowledge from internal medicine and/or emergency medicine.

While critical care physicians usually practice in the intensive care unit, they also can practice in the ER.
