ETM Course is targeted at Australian and New Zealand Senior Emergency Registrars and Consultants, however, a wide range of specialities have attended and are welcome at the course, including:
Registrants must be PGY 2 or above with AT LEAST 6 months Emergency Department experience.
If you’re unsure if you’re eligibility, please contact us via our contact page.
To date, around 18% of attendees at the ETM Course have been GPs and we’ve received great feedback from GP participants. Almost universally the GP attendees find the course very useful.
The presence of GPs on the course is also hugely beneficial as they share their experience with hospital doctors who are often oblivious to the challenges GPs face managing trauma, often in remote or resource-limited environments.
We are nascent of the fact not everyone works in a tertiary hospital and may not have a full trauma team or CT scanner. We try to accommodate everyone’s learning needs on the course by adjusting (within reason!) the simulation scenarios to more accurately reflect people’s work environment while also providing time for discussion during the lectures and small group sessions.
If you’re a GP and you’re unsure if ETM Course will be suitable for you, we have consulted Dr Tim Leeuwenburg to provide some advice to GP’s who are considering attending ETM Course. As an ETM Course Director and Rural GP/Proceduralist/Medical Retrieval Consultant on Kangaroo Island, Tim is well placed to answer any queries from GP’s regarding the course.
Please email us via our contact page, (be sure to include your name, email address & put “GP enquiry for Tim” in the subject line) and we will forward your email to Tim for a quick response.
ETM Course is a comprehensive, 3-day, face-to-face trauma course specifically designed to meet the needs of Australasian Emergency Medicine practitioners.
