EOI - Becoming an RGA examiner
ANZCA is looking for anaesthetists who are interested in joining the Court of Examiners for the Advanced Certificate in Rural Generalist Anaesthesia (AC-RGA).
The AC-RGA is a dedicated training pathway for trainees from both RACGP and ACRRM to complete an advanced skills year in anaesthesia in order to provide anaesthesia services in rural and remote areas Australia-wide. The training program involves workplace-based assessments, an MCQ and a viva exam - the RGA-SSSA (RGA Standardised Structured Scenario-based Assessment).
Examiners would be expected to attend a question-writing workshop in March-April, and examine at the online RGA-SSSA exam twice a year in June and November. Examiners work alongside fellow examiners from RACGP and ACRRM in question development, standard setting and delivering a comprehensive assessment of trainees at the end of their training year. Examiners should have prior or current experience with providing anaesthesia services outside metropolitan areas, or a demonstrated interest in rural and remote medicine.
