Course Description: The online Adult ICU Rehabilitation Foundations Course has 17 recorded presentations and is divided into 4 themes:
1. Rationale and Evidence for Early Rehabilitation,
2. Implementing and Sustaining an ICU Rehabilitation Program,
3. Specialized Assessment and Intervention, and
4. Medical Interventions.
The Adult ICU Rehabilitation Foundations Course is designed to provide foundational knowledge that is essential for effective collaboration and coordination to facilitate early mobility and rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. This course aims to breakdown ‘silos’ among critical care and rehabilitation clinicians working in the ICU, through interdisciplinary education. Moreover, the course provides insights into creating an ICU culture based on proactive rehabilitation and interdisciplinary collaboration between all critical care and rehabilitation clinicians.
Although this course can be viewed on a stand-alone basis, it is a pre-requisite for our annual “latest updates” Conference, the Johns Hopkins Critical Care Rehabilitation Conference, which is offered in-person at the Johns Hopkins Hospital each fall. We strongly encourage anyone who attends our in-person Conference, to have completed this course first the Conference only covers the “latest updates” from the past year, rather than foundational concepts.

Format & Content: The course has 5.5 hours of recorded presentations, with an accompanying pdf copy of the presentation slides (excluding copyrighted material and patient images). As its focus is on foundational material, the content of this course does not change from year to year. Hence, if you have attended this course in the past, there is no need to attend again.
