Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to establish a consensus on the curriculum for training in cardiothoracic critical care by utilizing the Delphi method. It involves a series of surveys conducted in two phases, where a panel of experts will respond to rounds of questions designed to gauge agreement on key competencies and training needs. Each round will take about 20 minutes, and responses will be confidential, with the goal of achieving at least 80% consensus on various topics. The process will help identify areas of agreement and those needing further discussion to unify training standards in the field.
