Welcome from the Chair
Thank you for visiting the McGill University Department of Critical Care Medicine.
I invite you to explore our website and return often as it undergoes redevelopment. As highlighted below our Department is widely recognized for its outstanding patient care, well-established training program in critical care medicine, and contributions to fundamental as well as clinical research.
We are committed to providing the most advanced and compassionate care to patients with all forms of critical illness, training the next generation of clinicians, and mentoring researchers who seek to better understand the mechanisms and advance the management of critical illness.
