	Critical Care Medicine FAQ
		Critical care medicine is the healthcare specialty that cares for patients with acute, life-threatening illness or injury.
		Critical care can be provided wherever life is threatened - at the scene of an accident, in an ambulance or med-evac helicopter, in a hospital trauma center or emergency room, or in the operating room.
		Critical care teams often work closely with the family physician to determine pre-existing illness, allergies, use of medications, and other factors, which may influence the health of the patient.

	Subspecialty Policies for Critical Care Medicine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		If you take the critical care medicine examination after completing two years of training in critical care medicine and before certifying in a subspecialty, you will be required to take two additional years of fellowship training in the subspecialty (three years for cardiovascular disease and gastroenterology) to take the subspecialty examination.
		In certain circumstances, when critical care medicine training is combined with training in a subspecialty of internal medicine, clinical training experience in critical care medicine that occurs during subspecialty training can be applied to requirements for admission to both the subspecialty and the critical care medicine certification examinations.
		In nephrology and critical care medicine or infectious disease and critical care medicine, four and two months respectively of clinical critical care medicine experience may be applied to the clinical requirements for admission to both examinations.
