Welcome to ESBICM® – Educational Society of Bedside Intensive Care Medicine!
We are an organization dedicated to transforming the delivery of intensive care worldwide by providing FREE Bedside Intensive Care Education to all healthcare professionals involved in the care of critically ill patients.
The “BEDSIDE” in ESBICM® symbolizes the art of clinical examination, data interpretation, and diagnosis at the patient’s bedside. This plays a crucial role in managing critically ill patients in the ICU. ESBICM® aims to revive this essential skill in Intensive Care Units, which often takes a backseat with the rapid evolution of modern medicine. Our goal is to ensure that better and critical care is provided not only in well-equipped centres but also in the small and most remote ICUs around the world, where modern facilities are often lacking.
To learn more about our mission and activities, please read the “What We Do” section. Welcome to this exciting journey of learning with ESBICM® – the Educational Society of Bedside Intensive Care Medicine!

I am proud of Dr. Ankur and his enthusiasm in training youngsters. This channel is all his effort and I am honored and privileged to be able to contribute to his selfless initiative. Dear Ankur, continue this wonderful work, more teachers will join the channel. Remember the saying ” Mai chalta gaya, loog judthe gaye, Carva banta gaya”…meaning I started on this journey alone, good people kept joining with me, and soon a Caravan took shape.
