Critical Care Physician Jobs

A Critical Care Physician, also known as an Intensivist, specializes in providing comprehensive care for critically ill patients in intensive care units. They typically work in hospital settings, managing and treating patients with life-threatening conditions such as multiple organ failure, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and traumatic injuries. Their responsibilities include conducting comprehensive patient assessments, developing, and implementing treatment plans, and coordinating with other healthcare professionals to deliver multidisciplinary care. They also make end-of-life care decisions and communicate with patients' families about their condition and prognosis.

Important skills for a Critical Care Physician include strong clinical judgement, the ability to make quick decisions under pressure, excellent communication skills, and a deep understanding of medical ethics. They should also be flexible and adaptable, as they need to respond to rapidly changing patient conditions. They should hold a Medical Degree and be Board Certified in Critical Care Medicine by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Prior to becoming a Critical Care Physician, an individual might hold roles such as Resident Physician, Internal Medicine Physician or a Pulmonologist, which provide the necessary medical knowledge and clinical experience.
