Overview
The Introduction to Critical Care program offered by University of Windsor provides an overview of cardiovascular, respiratory, neurology, endocrine, renal, gastrointestinal, hematology, immunology, and multi-system problems through independent self-study modules and interactive simulation activities.

At the completion of the program, the participant will be able to:
- Assess, analyze and monitor data for patients with complex, multi-system problems in order to anticipate early deterioration in patient’s condition, establish priorities and to plan interventions.
- Plan and implement specialized nursing interventions to achieve optimal patient outcomes in potential or actual critical illness and end-of-life situations.
- Evaluate the nursing interventions and adapt plan of care based on the response of the critically ill patient.
