Society of Critical Care Medicine News
SCCM members returned to Ukraine to prepare clinicians with FCCS training.

Eleven Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) volunteers returned to Lviv, Ukraine in August, training 200 clinicians through Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS): Pediatrics, FCCS: Obstetrics, and FCCS: Surgical courses. These courses combined lectures and hands-on skills to help clinicians manage critically ill patients during the first 24 hours.

Learn more about the trip on the SCCM blog, watch the video, or check out SCCM’s Ukraine response page.

Coordinated SCCM Global Health, the courses were supported by a grant from Direct Relief.
