Special Skills Category
If you wish to train at a site that is not accredited for Non-ED training by another Specialist College, you can apply for a one-off certified training placement in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand. A ‘Category T’ application form must be completed and the placement approved prior to completion to ensure training time will accrue to training requirements.
Alternatively ACEM has already accredited a number sites for Non-ED placements that are not approved by other Specialist Colleges but can accrue towards meeting training requirements. View the list of these sites.
Other Non-ED
These include all other Non-ED specialties accredited by other medical colleges. ACEM recognises training in these specialties if the training post is approved for the Fellowship program by the related specialist college.
Check if the selected site is accredited by the respective specialist medical college in the table below
If your preferred site is not accredited, please contact the ACEM training team to discuss alternative options.
