Most Canadian non-critical care residency programs require their trainees to undertake rotations through an intensive care unit (ICU), in part to learn how to assess, manage, and appropriately refer (for further care) their sickest of patients.1 We propose that the educational value of these ICU rotations—as with any core and off-service rotations—relies on three fundamental assumptions:
1.
A few weeks of ICU experience provide adequate exposure to key learning opportunities;
2.
Exposure to learning opportunities helps residents to develop and retain essential clinical abilities;
3.
Resident clinical abilities are directly observed and assessed by supervising ICU clinicians to confirm learning.
