The Taiwan Society of Critical Care Medicine(TSCCM), under the initiation and leadership of Professor Yu-An Ding, was established on October 4, 1998. Thanks to the leadership exhibited by subsequent former presidents, the state of the Society has prospered day by day.
The Society is a social group founded for non-profit objectives and in full compliance with the law. Its missions are to increase basic and clinical research on critical care medicine, to introduce updated treatment, to promote citizens' health, and to facilitate global academic exchanges. In addition, academic seminars of interest are held by the Society every year.
In the area of international cooperation, in addition to continuing its active involvement in the affairs of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (USA), European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM),and World Federation of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine( WFICCM) ,TSCCM also actively organizes multiple international conferences. By hosting such international conferences, we hope to improve the standard of critical care medicine as well as engender close cooperation with the international medical community.
Critical care medicine should be “Multidisciplinary Medicine”, which could be a link between intensive care and end-of-life care. TSCCM deeply hope our society will provide and build continuously a complete system of critical care training, education and promotion.
