Program Content

Accreditation

ACRRM recognises this program to satisfy the core clinical training requirements in anaesthetics for candidates undertaking the FACRRM
Accreditation is dependent on:
- successful completion of the entire program
- a minimum of 15 supervised sessions in theatre (3.5 hours per session)
- completion of a logbook of theatre sessions and undertakings to indicate the work done
The program requires supervisor sign-off that the activities have been completed satisfactorily

Duration

18 month subscription
Participants usually complete the program within 6 – 12 months

Supervision

Participants are required to source their own supervisor and theatre sessions. This is usually a GP anaesthetist, but may be a specialist anaesthetist. The supervisor will assess the activities and verify the logbook records.
On enrolment, we will ask for your supervisor’s name and email address to create a login and provide access to the Pro Start Anaesthetics program via the ModMed learning platform. It will be up to you both to manage the theatre sessions, modules and activities.
