The Medical Education SIG was formed in 1999 by ANZCA fellows who wanted to further the interest of many of our fellows in medical education.

Anaesthesia Continuing Education (ACE) is a tripartite committee comprising ANZCA, the Australian Society of Anaesthetists (ASA), and the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists (NZSA).

The Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) and Events Planning Committee reports to the Chief Executive Officer on matters relating to operational decisions in relation to the ANZCA/FPM ASM and other educational events run by ANZCA.

Our professional documents, statements and guidelines are crucial for promoting the safety and quality of patient care for those undergoing anaesthesia for surgical and other procedures and for those receiving pain medicine treatment.

The undergraduate prize in pain medicine is awarded to the best medical student in pain medicine in either of the final two years of undergraduate medical training.

The healthcare sector is highly interconnected with activities that emit pollution to air, water and soils, resulting in a significant ecological footprint and contribution to anthropogenic climate change.

The aim of the Wellbeing SIG is to promote the personal and psychological wellbeing and to heighten awareness of wellbeing issues in anaesthetists and pain medicine specialists. The group is an informative, educative and referral group; it has no therapeutic role.

Our Patrons Program is a simple, practical way for you to make a personal investment in the future of safer surgery and better pain treatment, and help to restore quality to patients’ lives.

The academic enhancement grant aims to foster the advancement of the academic disciplines of anaesthesia and/or pain medicine.
