Description

Show me more dates

 

 

This course is specifically designed to improve your skill in both technical and non-technical aspects of anaesthetic crisis management.

Completion of this course meets FANZCA fellowship training requirements.

Specialist Anaesthetists are welcome to "experience" and manage clinical events in an intensive, safe and fun learning environment.

All participants: please ensure you will not be on call or working nights/evenings immediately prior to or on days of the course. 

An EMAC course day is similarly demanding to a complicated clinical day, and we suggest you take this into account with your availability for call in the weekend following a course. 


Course timing: Day 1: 8am-5:10pm, Day 2: 8am-5.20pm and Day 3:  8.30am-1pm. The Course dinner is on Day 2.

 

Participants in the ANZCA and FPM CPD programs may claim this course as an emergency response activity in their CPD portfolio.
