Patients are considered critically ill when one or more organ systems fail or are at risk of failing. Critically ill patients commonly require invasive monitoring or organ support. Critical Care Medicine, a relatively new specialty, is concerned with the diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions.

AMG Critical Care provides adult critical care medicine services to hospitals. The group consists of board-certified critical care physicians and acute care nurse practitioners. To care for the sickest patients in the hospital, AMG incorporates the latest research to develop evidence-based protocols and systems of care to ensure that every patient receives the highest level of critical care possible. As a group, AMG deploys a multidisciplinary approach working closely with hospital administration, nursing, respiratory therapy and other departments in the hospital to develop and implement these care pathways.

Physicians board-certified in critical care medicine have completed a primary residency in internal medicine, anesthesiology, surgery or emergency medicine and completed additional fellowship specialty training in critical care medicine.
