Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) is a specialized field that has evolved significantly from its origins, where critically ill patients were managed by general hospital physicians [1]. Over time, ICM has developed into a distinct discipline requiring intensivists to possess a deep understanding of human pathophysiology, critical illness, and the management of life-threatening conditions, while also leading interprofessional teams [2, 3]. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic highlighted the importance of skilled intensivists, and the increasing demand for intensive care unit (ICU) beds globally indicates a growing need for these specialists [4].
