Summary: Today we are immensely honored to welcome Timothy G. Buchman, PhD, MD, FACS, FCCP, MCCM, Professor of Surgery and Anesthesiology, Emory University School of Medicine. In addition, Dr. Buchman has served as president of nearly EVERY major critical care society, has published 231 peer reviewed journals, and most recently acts as the Editor in Chief for Critical Care Medicine. In 2012 Dr. Buchman founded the Emory Critical Care Center (ECCC), and as director he has united the care of all the critically ill patients in the Emory Health Care System. In 2014, he directed his focus to the development of the Emory Electronic ICU (eICU), a mecca of telemedicine which has revolutionized the way critical care is administered. Today he is gracious to have flown up in order to speak with us on a very hot topic: where is critical care going and how can we not be left behind?
