Since intensive care was defined as a subspecialty in subspecialty examination in 2012, intensive care subspecialty training has become available. While intensive care subspecialty training has been in progress, legislative proposal on the certification of intensive care specialty without proper training among intensive care subspecialty trainees made us unite. To that end, a sub-committee of intensive care subspecialty trainees was founded under Society of Turkish Intensivists in 11th National Congress of Medical and Surgical Medicine. As a result of an election in 12th National Congress of Medical and Surgical Medicine in 2012, new sub-committee members founded “Young Intensive Care Specialists” group and has been carrying on ever since.
