Step 3: Actions for Clinical Directors and Faculty Tutors

  1. Ensure appropriate training capacity, resources and funding are in place to deliver the ICM curriculum and provide the necessary supervision and experience for all Intensivists in Training, and other learners within the unit.[1],[2]

  2. Work collaboratively to assess and maintain oversight of all learners’ educational needs, ensuring equitable access to supervision, development opportunities, and protected training time across all staff groups.

  3. Undertake an internal review of the unit’s training capacity at least annually, and whenever new learners are being considered. This review should incorporate findings from relevant quality assurance mechanisms, such as resident surveys, feedback reports, and external reviews.
