The pain medicine training program comprises a minimum of two years clinical experience directly related to pain medicine, which allows specialists and those completing a speciality training program to become a specialist pain medicine physician.

ANZCA fellows, trainees and staff can use this service to request material not available full-text, free-of-charge. This includes copies of articles, chapters from books or conference papers required for your research, patient care and learning.
