Anaesthetics Training

St Vincent's Anaesthetic Registrar training is considered to be one of the best in Australia. Our pass rate for the final FANZCA has been 100% in 12 of the last 15 years. Prizes for the best Australasian candidate have been awarded to a St Vincent's trained regsitrar 4 times for the primary FANZCA and 4 times for the final FANZCA in the past 14 years.

The department runs continuing medical education workshops for the Anaesthetic community and departmental meetings which are of a very high standard. Members of the department give an average of 10 international, 6 national and 6 local conference presentations each year.

Emergency Medicine Training

With a comprehensive list of internal and external rotations, St Vincent’s provides a wide range of opportunities for Emergency Medicine Registrar training.

Protected teaching time for registrars allows for weekly education sessions that include general emergency medicine issues and specific exam preparation sessions. Access to simulation-based training is facilitated by Emergency Physician involvement in the hospital’s simulation centre while the Emergency Department’s research centre assists registrars with their 4.10 projects.

As a result, St Vincent’s emergency registrars have been very successful at ACEM primary and fellowship exams.
