1/ Women in Critical Care:

Just recorded #ISICEM roundtable w @frubulotta @ElisabethWaele @flaviasepsis & Dr. Juffermans. on Sept 16th.

Let’s eliminate prejudice based on gender, sexual pref & color. Here is a Baker’s Dozen of Women ICU Leaders!

2/ The first woman leader in Critical Care I discussed was Dr. Christina Jones from UK. She is a Biochemist, Nurse, Masters Social Work, PhD in Psychotherapy.

Mother of ICU Support Groups & ICU Diaries. As an expert, she shaped our field!

3/ 2nd world leader in Crit Care presented was Dr. Deborah Cook, from McMaster Univ in Canada. Seminal trials in Ulcer Proph, Bioethics, CCCTG trials, and now edifying us about how to provide healing in the dying process through her 3-Wishes Project.

4/ We get no where in the ICU without great #NURSES & #PhysicalTherapy. Powerful leadership in Crit Care from Polly Bailey + Vicki Spuhler (1st mobility CCM paper) & Chris Perme + @heidiengel4 PT gurus!

5/ I wanted to focus also on #PharmD leadership. Two great examples are Dr. Judi Jacobi (past SCCM president) & Dr. Stollings @joannaccpharmd (two NEJM papers in 1 year – MIND-USA & SMART trial). Walking encyclopedias of knowledge & so vital to safety & great care.

6/ And let’s not forget Social Workers, who save the day time & time again for our ICU pts & families. Kelly McCutcheon Adams is an icon - she led IHI’s sedation & early mobility collaboratives for thousands of ICU teams over 6 years all across the US. Game changer!
