FPM committees support the board in achieving its objectives in the training, examination and continuing education of specialist pain medicine physicians and in setting the standards of clinical practice for pain medicine in Australia and New Zealand.

We've developed a range of courses and resources to support your pain medicine training.

FPM fellows who practise pain medicine procedures can apply to have their practice endorsed without having to complete the supervised clinical experience program.

Our purpose and vision for the college inform our strategic plan, which guides our college-wide business activity.

The FPM WA Regional Committee is an elected body that acts as a conduit between fellows and trainees in the WA region, and the FPM Board and Professional Standards Committee to which they report.

Reporting to the Training and Assessment Executive Committee, the Examination Committee oversees the governance and implementation of FPM exams.  

Reporting to the Training and Assessment Executive Committee, the Learning and Development Committee is responsible for the ongoing support and evaluation of the training program and other educational initiatives.

The college was founded in February 1992 after operating as a Faculty of Anaesthetists within the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.

You might not need the care of an anaesthetist when you’re carrying and delivering your baby, but it’s good to know what your options are.
