Emergency Medicine Training

TCHED is accredited by ACEM for 24 months of advanced training. We provide a comprehensive education platform from basic training through to fellowship and have access to a wide range of non ED terms from NICU to Anaesthesia, Medical subspecialities and Paediatrics. We have a close association with the Capital Region Retrieval Service and commonly rotate senior advanced trainees to this aeromedical service.

TCH FACEMs are involved at varying levels in ACEM  committees and trainees have a dedicated ACT rep on the trainee committee.
