Pain medicine training sites

We've accredited more than 40 multidisciplinary pain management units (training units) in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Singapore to provide approved pain medicine training.. 

Units are accredited either as a level 1 or Practice Development Stage (PDS) unit as defined in by-law 19. 

The Faculty accredits supervisors rather than units for the Procedures Endorsement Program. 

Supervision of training

All accredited training units have an appointed supervisor of training (SOT). They will always be a faculty fellow. Their key roles are:

• Overseeing each trainee’s clinical performance and workplace-based assessments.
• Performing in-training assessments and training stage reviews throughout the core training stage.
• Providing a primary point of contact between the faculty; the training unit; and the trainees.

Use the tables below to find out who the SOT is at any accredited training unit.
 

Apply to be an accredited training unit

Our specialised reviewers assess each unit's ability to deliver our training program to the highest standard, according to the requirements in by-law 19 and the accompanying FPM accreditation handbook. Accreditation is based on information provided by the unit, coupled with an onsite visit by two reviewers.

The Training Unit Accreditation Committee (TUAC) oversees this process and makes recommendations based on reviewers’ reports.

Units wishing to apply for accreditation should submit the below datasheet to the faculty office.
