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.
Curriculum:
- RACGP Advanced Rural Skills Training – Curriculum for Emergency Medicine
- ACRRM Advanced Specialised Training – Emergency Medicine
Candidates are encouraged to complete the Emergency Medicine Certificate or Diploma offered by the Australian College for Emergency Medicine as part of this post.
