Both DEMTs are now ACEM Examiners and can provide expert preparation for both the Primary and Fellowship Examinations with dedicated programs for both examinations with excellent success rates.

Trainees have access to a whole day of protected teaching every fortnight. Each day has a general theme, with integration of POCUS and simulation-based education. All presentations are recorded and can be accessed on our education website (www.ctnededucation.com.au, password protected) for future reference. This education website has been locally developed, including transition modules for doctors at different stages of their career. We also have our own accredited point of care ultrasound course (SonoTown) which is accredited for ACEM (COPD) and for CCPU with ASUM.
