The EDIC I preparation course was developed to support candidates preparing for the EDIC I exam. The principle of the EDIC I preparation course is to cover the European recognized minimum competences and knowledge for the practice of critical care medicine rather than cutting edge new technology and science. The course has been designed in order to represent the blueprint of the EDIC I exam.

- Led by key experts from the Education and Training Committee and experienced EDIC examiners.
- This course includes EXCLUSIVE access to the online EDIC I Preparation course*, which includes a mock exam with EDIC-style MCQs.
- Tips on how to pass the exam and approach the exam questions, including guidance on educational materials and other resources to best prepare for the EDIC I exam.
