Please Note: Froedtert Health has implemented a new security protocol which has resulted in the degradation of on-campus access to MCW Libraries' electronic resources. Users on the Froedtert network must sign in via OpenAthens when attempting to access electronic library resources (including UpToDate, VisualDx, etc.). MCW Libraries is aware of this change and is working to provide a permanent access solution. If you have MCW credentials, please sign in via MCW employees and students when prompted. If you are a Froedtert employee, click here to register for an OpenAthens account or view more information.

About VCCR

The Society of Critical Care Medicine has two online courses called Virtual Critical Care Rounds.  Virtual Critical Care Rounds (VCCR) are designed to better prepare residents and students to contribute to the diagnosis and management of the critically ill patient during their intensive care unit rounds. Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to recognize emergent conditions and describe appropriate interventions, analyze case scenarios and explain treatment options, and recommend treatment strategies for critically ill patients based on medical history, physical examination and diagnostic data.
