Practice-Ready Skills — Without Real Patient Data

Generates randomised haemodynamics OSCE cases for self-practice and logbook filing. Covers 4 mandatory categories — shock classification from a haemodynamic profile, fluid responsiveness assessment, arterial/CVP/PA waveform interpretation, and vasoactive drug selection by haemodynamic goal — plus 9 elective categories spanning pulmonary artery catheter interpretation, perfusion and oxygen delivery markers, cardiac-output monitoring technologies, right ventricular failure, mechanical circulatory support, and bedside ultrasound for shock. Three of the electives (CVP interpretation and manipulation, arterial line and blood pressure basics, and bedside perfusion assessment) were added specifically as accessible entry points for PCCCM candidates working in resource-limited settings. Each session draws 10 cases per category at random, so no two attempts are identical.

Generates randomised microbiology and antimicrobial-stewardship OSCE cases. The 4 mandatory categories cover culture and sensitivity report interpretation, empirical antibiotic selection, distinguishing colonisation from true infection and contamination, and de-escalation under antimicrobial stewardship principles. The 6 elective categories go deeper into multidrug-resistant organisms (ESBL, CRE, MRSA, MDR/XDR Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter), antibiotic PK/PD and dosing in the critically ill, invasive fungal infection, device-associated infections (CLABSI, VAP, CAUTI), and reading a unit's cumulative antibiogram to guide empirical policy. Cases are built around real resistance patterns and current IDSA-aligned reasoning, so candidates are trained to think the way an antimicrobial stewardship round actually works.

Generates randomised mechanical ventilation OSCE cases, from first-principles setup through to advanced rescue therapy. The 4 mandatory categories cover ventilator modes and initial setup, respiratory mechanics (compliance, resistance, driving pressure, auto-PEEP), reading ventilator graphics (scalars and loops), and ARDS with lung-protective ventilation. The 6 elective categories cover patient–ventilator asynchrony, obstructive disease and dynamic hyperinflation, weaning and spontaneous breathing trials, capnography, oxygenation and refractory hypoxaemia, and a structured DOPES approach to ventilator alarms and the acutely deteriorating ventilated patient. This is one of the most visually rich generators, with genuine waveform and loop tracings built into the cases for candidates to interpret.

Generates randomised medical-statistics OSCE cases built around real ICU trial data, not abstract textbook numbers. The 4 mandatory categories are critical appraisal of a landmark ICU randomised controlled trial, calculating and interpreting Number Needed to Treat/Harm, sensitivity and specificity from a diagnostic 2×2 table, and probability with confidence intervals. The 6 elective categories cover descriptive statistics, measures of spread, hypothesis testing and p-values, risk measures (relative risk and related ratios), sample size and statistical power, and correlation and regression. Every case is anchored to a real or realistic ICU trial or dataset, so candidates are practising the exact skill FCCCM and PCCCM exams test: reading a study and deciding whether it should change practice in an Indian ICU.

The fillable procedures logbook for Year 1 of the FCCCM fellowship. Covers the 7 mandatory procedures — endotracheal intubation, central venous cannulation, arterial line insertion, mechanical ventilation setup, non-invasive ventilation, chest tube insertion, and CPR leadership — plus 3 optional procedures (lumbar puncture, thoracentesis, paracentesis). Each procedure has its own log table: one row per case, capturing the indication, competency level reached (Observed / Assisted / Supervised / Independent), any complication, and free-text remarks — using the patient's hospital registration number only, never their name. A requirements summary on the cover page gives a running tally against the Year 1 minimums, and the mentor signs a declaration at the end of each procedure's table.

The fillable procedures logbook for Year 2 (final year) of the FCCCM fellowship. Tracks Year-2-only numbers against the Year 2 minimums — higher volumes and a higher bar, since all 7 mandatory procedures must reach Independent competency by graduation. The cover page shows both the Year 2 target and the cumulative 2-year target (Year 1 + Year 2 combined) side by side, so candidates and mentors can see overall progress toward final sign-off at a glance. Same row-by-row structure as the Year 1 log: indication, competency level, complications, remarks, and mentor sign-off per procedure.

The fillable procedures logbook for the one-year PCCCM certification. Covers the 9 mandatory procedures for resource-limited settings — including bag-mask ventilation, NGT insertion, urinary catheterisation, ABG sampling, and defibrillation/cardioversion, alongside intubation, CVC, and CPR leadership — plus 4 optional procedures. This is the one Procedures Log with an extra column: a Local Co-Signatory field for candidates on the PCCCM Remote Mentor Pathway, who need an on-site witness to co-sign each entry before their Remote Mentor's own endorsement. Candidates under direct on-site mentorship simply leave that column blank.
