More than 110 Rural Generalists (RGs) gathered in Brisbane last week to participate in seven courses as part of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine’s (ACRRM) Emergency Week.
Emergency Week saw the launch of the College’s new Advanced Life Support (ALS) Level 2 course, alongside the popular Rural Emergency Skills Training (REST), Pre-hospital Emergency Care (PHEC), Rural Emergency Obstetrics Training (REOT) and Rural Anaesthetic Crisis Management (RACM) workshops.
ACRRM President Dr Sarah Chalmers says it’s often difficult for our members to access quality education at the right level for experienced rural doctors.
“All ACRRM education programs have been developed by rural and remote doctors for rural and remote doctors." Dr Chalmers says.
“Conducting these courses with 35 instructors across one week in one location, provides opportunities for rural doctors to meet their continuing professional development requirements, while networking and learning with peers.
“It also reduces the time these doctors have away from the communities where they are desperately needed.”
“It was also the first time we have delivered the updated ALS course, which meets the Australian Resuscitation Council’s Level 2 Standards,” Dr Chalmers adds.
“The new ALS Level 2 Course has been designed to cater to the diverse clinical scopes of practice of RGs.” It uses evidence-based clinical skills training that will support RGs to demonstrate their competency and improve their clinical confidence.”
The College has launched it 2022 clinical training calendar, which includes more than 80 face-to-face courses, four Emergency Weeks across the nation, and the Rural Medicine Australia 2022 (RMA22) conference in Canberra in October.
