Membership

Why Join ESBICM

Membership is free for life, and it always has been. Education meant to reach every ICU cannot begin with a fee. What it asks instead is that you take part — come to the classes, bring your questions, and, when you are ready, teach, write and build alongside us.

ESBICM Lifetime membership

What comes with it

  • ✓

    Live Classes

    Free classes through the year, taken by colleagues from our Global Critical Care Faculty Network.

  • ✓

    Courses

    Structured courses, many of them free. Members pay reduced fees on the rest, with certificates where a course is examined.

  • ✓

    Events

    Workshops, conferences and teaching sessions through the year, at reduced fees for members and free wherever we can manage it.

  • ✓

    Journal Club and the e-library

    New trials, articles and guidelines kept current, and sessions where we work through a paper together.

  • ✓

    Books

    ESBICM books, written by our faculty and free to download for members.

  • ✓

    For Trainees

    The Mentorship Forum, where trainees think through the questions that are not always easy to ask inside their own unit.

BEYOND MEMBERSHIP

Take it further

  • ✓

    Teach with us

    Members who want to teach can apply to the ESBICM Global Critical Care Faculty Network and take classes, courses and sessions for colleagues in 66+ countries.

  • ✓

    Beyond your own ICU

    Sessions reach an international audience through The ICU Channel and The ICU App, so good teaching travels further than the room it was given in.

  • ✓

    Take part in research

    Join the Research Faculty and contribute to studies, surveys and multicentre work as our research wing grows.

  • ✓

    Write and review

    Contribute to ESBICM books and publications as a chapter author, reviewer or co-editor.

  • ✓

    ESBICM Café

    Informal gatherings with faculty and members, under the Faculty Network.

  • ✓

    Colleagues in 66+ countries

    Compare how other units work, and find people facing the same questions in very different circumstances.

MEMBERS ONLY

The ICU App

Everything the society does, in your pocket — and it opens only for members.

Learn anywhere — Classes, courses and teaching material on your phone, between cases or on the way home.

The Community — Ask a question, answer someone else's, and tell us what you want taught next. This is where topics for live classes come from.

ICUtips — Short, practical teaching cards, regularly.

Your membership, with you — Book classes, apply to the Mentorship Forum and keep your record to hand.

There is more inside than this list, and the app keeps growing — new sections are added as we build them.

Plus membership upgrade

For members who want more, Plus membership is an optional annual upgrade — and a way to help keep the society sustainable, so that lifetime membership stays free and the teaching stays affordable.
