Expeditionary Critical Care

The JKSA Critical Care knowledge advancement and assessment course is designed to support all physicians who are deployable to provide critical care in meeting the knowledge requirements associated with their respective expeditionary scopes of practice. The course includes an online exam composed of 200 case-based multiple-choice questions. The total exam time is 6-hours, which may be spread across multiple sessions to facilitate on-demand access for test takers. Successful completion of the exam with a score of 80% or higher will earn the test taker 102 AMA PRA Category 1 CME credits. Within the 6-hour testing window, missed exam questions may be revisited to reach an 80% score.
