VRGP Emergency Medicine

By its nature, Emergency Medicine has considerable overlap with a number of other specialist disciplines, particularly Anaesthetics, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Internal Medicine and Paediatrics. Acute aspects of most disciplines have relevance to the Emergency Medicine. While all Rural Generalists develop skills in Emergency Medicine during their training, the RG Advanced in Emergency Medicine expands those skills and enables RGs to confidently manage and lead teams in larger Urgent Care Centres or sub-regional and some regional Emergency Departments.
