Recognition pathways
We've opened a recognition pathway to allow eligible practitioners to apply for legacy transition to the DipPOM. Applications for the recognition process can be submitted until 1 December 2023.
This ‘grandparenting’ process is open to medical specialists who have been engaged in the field of perioperative medicine, through education, teaching, research and/or clinical practice.
We'll engage those who receive the diploma through this process to support the diploma through clinical supervision and education.
Information regarding DipPOM supervisors can be found here.
