Become an ESBICM Academic Volunteer

As you all know, ESBICM doesn’t charge anything from any healthcare professional working in ICU or ED (specially doctors and nurses).

We are on a mission to change the way intensive care is delivered in the world today using this platform for providing FREE Bedside Intensive Care Education to every healthcare professional involved in the care of critically ill patients. Its vision is to strengthen the bedside intensive care even in the smallest and most remote ICU of the world.

Our whole society is based on volunteer work by the founders and various contributors; we share what we know and we are dedicated and committed to make this vision a reality for sure!

And as this platform has reached almost every nation through its YouTube channel (The ICU Channel), we started receiving many requests for local-level academic activities not only from India but from across the globe. This gave the idea of ESBICM Academic Volunteers who will play a very crucial role in delivering the area specific educational needs and make this platform reach to those it may prove useful. They do this by the following:

1. They understand the educational needs of their particular area, be it their ICU, city hospitals, state or nation or simply their group of friends and then communicate and co-ordinate with us so that we can arrange online classes, educational materials, address their doubts etc… 

2. They remain actively connected with us on telegram/whatsapp where they share their suggestions and make this platform improve and evolve with time. 

3. They make their peers and other health professionals aware of ESBICM and The ICU Channel …actually the list is endless!
