Abstract
Objective
The literature highlights the need to improve education in critical care medicine; Currently in Colombia there is no data that characterizes the personnel who are receiving training in intensive care.
Design
A descriptive study was carried out where the characteristics of intensive care training programs in Colombia were reviewed.
Setting
Colombian medical postgraduate educational system.
Participants
People in intensive care training in Colombia.
Interventions
A survey was applied, and a review of intensive care training programs was carried out.
Main variables of interest
Number of intensive care programs, first and second specialty programs, geographic distribution, base specialties of second specialty programs.
Results
A total of 20 intensive care training programs were found, 55% offered as a second specialty and 45% as first specialty programs. A total of 78 surveys were carried out, obtaining responses from 8 of the 9 cities where programs are offered; The base programs that are doing second specialty training in intensive care were: 38% internal medicine, 29% emergency medicine; Most respondents have access to wellness areas and there was a tendency for second specialty respondents to have more paid work compared to first specialty respondents.
Conclusions
There is a wide range of intensive care programs in the country, with different characteristics among them.
