1 no experience rudimentary understanding and little practical experience reasonable, but incomplete practical experience no further educational need for an independent competent execution of this medical act Medical Expert / Clinical Decision-maker: In an effort to better define the body of the knowledge and practical skills required for the training of a critical care physician, we developed a bedside competencies map for our program. This map identifies the necessary cognitive and technical bedside skills of a successfully trained University of Calgary critical care resident. This is an attempt to better define and categorize the specific objectives of the medical expert in critical care, and addresses the fact that this expertise is acquired progressively throughout two years of training. Regular individual reviews, with the Program Director of the self-assessment tool should ultimately help the resident better define his/her understanding in different subject areas and help evaluate the curriculum of our program. Key Competencies: demonstrate diagnostic and therapeutic skills for ethical and effective patient care in critical care access and apply relevant information to the critical care practice demonstrate effective consultation services with respect to the critically ill patient Specific objectives: Demonstrate basic and applied knowledge in: 1. Airway a) airway management during tracheostomy b) cricothyrotomy and indication for other urgent surgical airways c) fiberoptic intubation d) indication of tracheostomy for prolonged ventilation e) laryngeal mask ventilation f) maintenance of open airway g) nasotracheal intubation h) orotracheal intubation i) retrograde intubation j) transcricoid jet ventilation August 21, 2006 Page 1 of 5
