Emergency & Critical Care Consultants are super-specialist doctors who provide specialized care by advising medication & treatment strategies for people with acute clinical & medical needs, as well as those who have experienced major surgery or trauma. Emergency & Critical Care for patients is irrespective of age, gender, underlying diagnosis, medical specialty, or location in the hospital.
Patients with conditions such as sepsis, pneumonia, hemorrhage, peritonitis (bacterial infection either via the blood or after rupture of an abdominal organ), cancer, stroke, accidental injuries, heart attacks, cerebral attacks, asthma, organ failure, and acute respiratory blockage can all have or develop critical illness and need emergency medical care. A “critical illness” may include any immediately life-threatening, reversible condition.
The primary focus of Emergency & Critical Care
1. Emergency &Critical Care focuses on resuscitating unstable patients and allowing time for recovery or the effect of specific therapies to improve outcomes and prevent death. Emergency &Critical Care is therefore for patients who are critically ill upon arrival in a hospital, or hospitalized patients who were stable and subsequently deteriorated.
2. Emergency & Critical Care can be provided anywhere in the hospital: in the emergency departments, general intensive Care Units(ICUs), post-operative recovery units, as well as high-dependency units, trauma care departments and all other types of Critical Care Units like Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU), CCUs (Cardiac Critical Care units), CICUs (Cardiac Intensive Care Unit) etc.
Emergency & Critical Care Consultants cater to
1. Patients needing emergency attention, most commonly including those with chest pain, respiratory problems, occupational injuries, sprains & fractures, drug overdoses, asthma attacks, severely traumatic allergic reactions causing disfiguration of the face etc., abdominal pain, injuries from motor vehicle accidents, seizure disorders, cardiac arrhythmia (the abnormal rhythm of the heartbeat) and ocular (eye) injuries. On average, 20% of emergency department patients are children.
2. Critically ill patients include those who have experienced major surgery or trauma. They need advanced monitoring & care, and often coronary, respiratory or nephrological life support systems too. Critically ill patients will include those experiencing a range of conditions, like multisystem organ failure (such as kidney & liver failure), sepsis (infection after surgery or from a bruise, etc.), respiratory failure, central nervous system crises and cardiac failure.
Emergency & Critical Care specialists provide on the spot diagnosis
1. Emergency & Critical Care specialists provide crucial emergency medical care to patients who need on the spot diagnosis. They are involved in the management of patients with sudden life-threatening but reversible complex medical & surgical illnesses in Intensive Care Units (ICU), Coronary Care Units, Emergency Department Intensive Care Units(ED-ICUs) or Operation Theatres (OT). “Intensivist” is another name for a specially trained critical care medical professional.
2. Critical illness results in millions of deaths each year. Emergency & Critical Care involves caring for the most seriously ill or injured patients including those who are in desperate need of mechanical ventilation, are suffering from respiratory distress or need coronary support.
Emergency & Critical Care Consultants have to routinely work closely with other doctors
1. Care for those with critical illness is often neglected due to a lack of prioritization, coordination, and coverage of timely identification and basic life-saving treatments. Emergency & Critical Care Consultants have to work with doctors from many specialties, including anesthesiology, internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, cardiovascular medicine, cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery and neurology.
2. They also collaborate with experts from disciplines like nephrology, pediatrics, surgery and transplant medicine. Together, a collaborative co-managed team provides high-quality & safe critical care in operating rooms, ICUs and similar hospital settings to the most seriouslyill as well as those needing urgent medical attention.

2. You will care for critically ill patients including those who have experienced major surgery/trauma as well as those who are in desperate need of mechanical ventilation, are suffering from respiratory distress or need coronary support.
3. You will be examining a patient (physical examination and primary screening) for diagnosis of and obtaining information on medical / physical conditions, history, and tendencies to ascertain necessary medical attention or required surgical procedures.
4. You will be diagnosing bodily disorders and clinical conditions and suggest therapeutic treatments, such as administering internal medicine, mobilizing life support systems or suggesting necessary surgeries, in Intensive Care Units (ICU), Coronary Care Units or Operation Theatres (OT).
5. You will analyze records, reports, test results, or examination information to diagnose the medical condition of a patient.
6. You will advise a surgeon of a patient's risk status and recommend appropriate intervention to minimize risk.

Required Qualification & Competencies
1. After Class 11-12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology along with any other subject as per scheme of studies, you must study for a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree. Various forms of this qualification’s name are MB ChB, MB BChir, BM BCh, BMBS and MB BCh around the globe.
2. After your graduation, you can study for a Diploma in Emergency Medicine (DEM) or post graduate level degree like MEM (Master’s in Emergency Medicine), MD or DNB, or an equivalent qualification and complete junior residencies to specialize in various branches of Medicine.
DNB is considered equivalent to MD. The only difference is for MD you will be trained in government medical colleges or teaching hospitals whereas for DNB you will be trained mostly at private teaching/ non-teaching hospitals (with at least 500 beds).
3. After postgraduation (MD/DNB), you may complete senior residencies and obtain aDM /FNB (Fellow of National Board).This is not possible after a post-graduate Diploma level qualification like DEM.
4. You can obtain a PhD after MDif you want to pursue a career only in medical research. Otherwise, all physicians with MD/ DNB or DM/ FNB or equivalent & higher qualifications may also publish scientific research studies in journals without a PhD.
In the UK, MRCP/ MRCGP/FRCEM/ MRCEM certification is mandatory to practice as an Emergency / Critical Care Consultant and take full GMC (General Medical Council) registration.
1. You have to qualify for a graduation from any medical school (in UK or any other country including India), complete MD(if you are studying in India) and obtain your MRCP qualification from any of the Royal Colleges (Edinburgh, Glasgow, London) or your MRCGP certificate from the Royal College of General Practitioners or a Fellowship/ Membership from the Royal College of emergency Medicine.
2. There are 3 Royal Colleges that grant MRCP certifications: in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London. MRCP is conducted by each college separately. So, there are 3 different MRCP exams by 3 different colleges. Each exam has its own format that can be referred to from respective portals of conducting bodies.
3. MRCGP South Asia program is run by the Indian Medical Association only in Chennai. For appearing for MRCGP certification you should have minimum of 5 years clinical experience of which a minimum of 3 years should be in General Practice.
4. FRCEM/ MRCEM exams are conducted by the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. For a Fellowship with the RCEM (FRCEM), you are to clear FRCEM Part A / Primary exam. To obtain Membership (MRCEM), you are to clear all 3 parts i.e. Part A/B/C (Primary, Intermediate and Final exams).
If You Are Targeting US or Canada,
1. Remember, you will have to clear USMLE after you complete an MBBS program in India to be able to directly practice in the US. To study in medical schools in USA or Canada for an MD degree before practicing there, you will have to clear MCAT. Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a compulsory test for anyone who plans to get admission in medical schools of USA and Canada. MD degrees are followed by 3 to 7 years of residency. Graduates can practice any specialty. Physicians are fully certified after passing board exams.152 MD-granting schools are in the United States and 17 are in Canada.
2. MCAT consists for 4 distinct sections which are individually scored. Each section is allotted either 90 or 95 minutes and tests between 50 and 60 questions. Including breaks, the full examination lasts approximately 7.5 hours.
3. Most MBBS graduates go for further study by passing MCAT, completing 4- year MD in US or Canada and then appearing for USMLE because this way is easier. However, some MBBS graduates avoid this path and directly aim at USMLE from India but cannot succeed as they lack US-based education which is extremely essential in order to pass USMLE.
4. MCAT is administered 25 times in a year. With a pass in MCAT, they will need to complete a medical degree (MD) in the US or Canada which is for 4 years. Then they can appear for USMLE and get a practice license.
5. Remember: after passing USMLE once, you cannot repeat it for attempting a better score. Programs usually eliminate candidates with multiple attempts. For this reason, it is essential to do extremely well in the first attempt. Further, your answers will not be evaluated on a population curve basis; you will be marked on the level of difficulty of the items you have attempted during the examination.
6. Graduates from any other biological/ allied medical discipline in India (other than MBBS) are also eligible to practice as a Medical Professional in the US but they have to appear for MCAT with a ‘special permission ‘from Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) (before registering for the exam, mail to mcat@aamc.org stating the reasons why you wish to take the exam). If you are specially permitted by AAMC, which is rare, you can then attempt & clear MCAT, then pass 4-year MD, then clear USMLE and then practice in US / Canada.
So, in short
MBBS in India > MCAT > Basic Medical Degree in US / Canada (MD) > USMLE > Practice
Alternatively, a tougher route is,
MBBS in India > USMLE > Practice
For non-medical graduates from India,
Bachelor degree (duration is not a factor) > MCAT with special permission>Basic Medical Degree in US / Canada (MD) > USMLE >Practice
MINIMUM EDUCATION REQUIRED | MAXIMUM EDUCATION REQUIRED |
Under Graduate Undergraduate Degree / Honours Diploma / Graduate Diploma (equivalent to a Degree) Programs for which the minimum eligibility is a pass in Higher Secondary / Class XII School Leaving examination. | Post-Doctoral Post Ph.D. programs for which the minimum eligibility is a Doctoral degree. |
