How do I join the ETM faculty?

Potential instructors are nominated by faculty after attending an ETM Course. Nominated candidates are invited to submit a CV for review. If successful, they complete two courses as an instructor candidate under mentorship, after which they may be formally invited to join the ETM Course faculty based on their performance.

I'm a medical student, can I attend the a course as an observer

Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to accept observers on courses. We are still inducting several new instructors per course, which means the course instructors, course directors and course co-ordinators are extremely busy and unable to provide enough supervision and time for observers.
