ANZCA Council endorsed amendments to the Diploma of Perioperative Medicine (DipPOM) recognition pathway already approved by the Perioperative Medicine Steering Committee.

We're collaborating with other specialist colleges to participate in the recently established Conjoint Committee in Pre-Hospital and Retrieval Medicine.
