To be eligible to enrol as a trainee in the DipPHRM Training Program, medical practitioners must at the time of application hold appropriate medical registration with no suspension, condition, restriction or undertaking imposed that limits their ability to complete the requirements of the DipPHRM Training Program.
It is recognised that, due to the nature of pre-hospital and retrieval medicine, the trainee will need to have a level of functional independence and so will need to be suitably experienced and advanced in their specialist training or be a suitably experienced Fellow.
Medical practitioners must also:
- provide evidence of a confirmed training position at a site accredited by the CCPHRM for DipPHRM training; and
- meet at least one of the following:
- be a Fellow of ACEM (FACEM) or enrolled in the FACEM Training Program and have not more than 18 months of required training to complete in order to be eligible to attain FACEM;
- be a Fellow of ACRRM (FACRRM) or enrolled in the ACRRM specialist training program and have not more than 18 months of required training to complete in order to be eligible to attain FACRRM;
- be a Fellow of ANZCA (FANZCA) or enrolled in the ANZCA specialist training program and have not more than 18 months of required training to complete in order to be eligible to attain FANZCA; or
- be a Fellow of CICM (FCICM) or enrolled in the CICM specialist training program and have not more than 18 months of required training to complete in order to be eligible to attain FCICM; or
- be a Fellow of RACGP (FRACGP) or enrolled in the Australian General Practice training program and have not more than 18 months of required training to complete in order to be eligible to attain FRACGP.
Individuals who otherwise meet all eligibility requirements other than those specified in (b) may apply to the Conjoint Committee of PHRM under the College’s Exceptional Circumstances/Special Consideration Policy for consideration on a case-by-case basis for permission to enrol in the DipPHRM Training Program.
