CICM Second Part viva practice
The CICM Second Part structured orals test clinical intensive care — prioritising, supporting failing organs and defending a plan for the complex ICU patient under questioning. Below is every area you can drill on Viva Station, grouped the way the syllabus is. Each links to a page on how that topic tends to be examined — then you can sit a timed spoken station on it.
