Critical Care Medicine is a recently recognized specialty in Pakistan. The Master's in Critical Care Medicine (MCCM) has been started by the Quaid-i-Azam Post Graduate Medical College (QPGMC) since July 2009 while few or no education material specific to the context of Pakistan's Health system has been developed. The number of faculties specialized in critical care medicine is scanty. Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) is therefore collaborating with the team of Prof Georges Offenstadt of Saint Antoine Hospital in Paris to organize a structured teaching program. Teaching modules are organized every 2 months by a joint Pak-French faculty. The participation of the French Faculty is ensured through videoconferencing. Beyond these protected teaching hours, the students need as well to read and learn by themselves, but because of the huge amount of information available, they need to be guided to avoid non relevant or non accurate sources of information. This is the purpose of this Wikispace, which can be seen as a tool for knowledge management and will also allow interaction between students and teachers.
