State or regional critical care societies.
The success of the SCCM has spurred other individuals with similar backgrounds (many of them SCCM members) to start state or regional critical care societies. Such societies provide a forum where local recognition and educational needs are met; state health regulations and economic issues can be discussed with a unifying voice. The experiences and organizational steps taken are described. The intent of this article is to provide information to those individuals contemplating starting similar societies.
