Asia Pacific Intensive Care Symposium (APICS): Elevating Critical Care Across Borders

APICS is the leading platform in the Asia Pacific region for critical care. It brings together a diverse, multidisciplinary community of physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, researchers, administrators, and students, all dedicated to improving patient outcomes through collaboration and shared learning.

The symposium reflects a holistic approach by covering a wide range of disciplines including dietetics, physiotherapy, pharmacy, and speech pathology. Its programme includes CME-accredited sessions, hands-on workshops, SHARE Sessions, and Meet-the-Expert opportunities that promote the exchange of clinical knowledge and emerging research.

APICS is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It offers reduced fees and educational grants to support participants from low- and middle-income countries and actively encourages global representation across its speakers and moderators. The Education Initiative supports early-career researchers by providing funding and platforms to showcase their work.

With delegates from numerous countries and professional backgrounds, APICS serves as a unifying and inclusive force in critical care. Beyond education and research, the symposium fosters community spirit through activities like music therapy, fun runs, and faculty events that encourage connection and collaboration.

APICS is more than a symposium; it is a movement to elevate standards, cultivate leadership, and drive progress in critical care throughout the Asia Pacific region and beyond.
