The most precious resource of the Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care Medicine (IDCCM) at the University of Toronto is its people. A rich cadre of 90+ faculty members, many of whom are internationally renowned researchers and educators, serve the Greater Toronto Area with a population of more than 6 million people. More than 300 publications are achieved in high impact peer-reviewed journals each year and there are 60+ critical care medicine trainees enrolled in our programs at any given time. We achieve great heights but we can always do better, especially in facilitating the proactive integration of adult and paediatric critical care, promoting the Division as the academic centre for the Greater Toronto Area and fully engaging the unique multi-professional aspect of our Division. We also want to reach highly ambitious goals in terms of research and the be the place to go to learn critical care medicine.
