To address workforce shortages, particularly in rural areas, the Australian government has recommended the implementation of an expedited registration pathway for specialist international medical graduates (SIMGs).

We are proud to congratulate four of our faculty fellows who have been awarded ANZCA research grants for 2025, three of whom have received honorary named awards for their outstanding contributions.

Planning for Success is our new exam preparation resource designed to support trainees and SIMGs on the exam pathway.

You asked; we listened! The new ANZCA & FPM CPD App is available to download today.

Revised Reconsideration, Review, and Appeal Policy and the Special Consideration Policy.

In September 2022, we visted Darwin to talk to specialist anaesthetists, trainees, and medical students about living and working in Australia's Top End.

For the Spring 2023 edition of the ANZCA Bulletin, we visited Tasmania to talk to anaesthetists and trainees who live and work there.

A bank of scenarios is being developed to support the introduction of the SES assessment for introductory trainees in 2025.

Your annual continuing professional development (CPD) cycle for 2024 is ending on the 31 December 2024.
