Harvard Critical Care Essentials 2025: Cutting-Edge Training for Non-Intensivists

The Harvard 13th Annual Principles of Critical Care Medicine for Non-Intensive Care Specialists 2025 is designed to update healthcare professionals on the latest evidence-based practices in modern critical care. Aimed at non-intensivists, this course provides essential skills for managing critically ill patients, focusing on ventilator management, sedation, sepsis treatment, shock physiology, and emergency care.

This year’s program introduces two innovative learning experiences: 1) Cardiology Critical Care and 2) Humanizing Critical Care. Additionally, the Ventilator Troubleshooting module continues as a key part of the curriculum. Taught by Harvard Medical School faculty from multiple disciplines, the course combines lectures, case discussions, and hands-on demonstrations to equip participants with practical strategies for immediate clinical application.

* Original Release Date: September 16-19, 2025

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Review the basic principles of mechanical ventilation and describe indications for noninvasive and invasive ventilation
  • Describe evidence-based approaches to diagnosis and management of common infections in the ICU
  • Categorize different types of shock, describe the pathophysiologic mechanism behind each and formulate appropriate treatment strategies
  • Identify the evidence-based management of hypoxic respiratory failure, including use of high-flow nasal cannula, lung-protective ventilation, PEEP optimization, proning and VV ECMO
  • Describe current management of cardiogenic shock including indications and contraindications of different types of mechanical circulatory support
  • Describe the importance of POCUS in the diagnosis of volume status
  • Identify contemporary approaches to sedation in the ICU
  • Recognize post-intensive care syndrome and describe best practices for management
  • Identify best practices for care of the dying patient in the ICU
