The Procedures Course is designed to enable emergency and critical care physicians develop the mastery necessary to confidently perform a wide range of basic and complex resuscitative procedures when the time comes.
Procedural teaching will be conducted by a group of renowned experts in trauma management from the Alfred Emergency & Trauma Centre, Australasia’s largest trauma service, and numerous other trauma centres from across Australia, Europe and the UK. Teaching will be enhanced by the use of un-embalmed cadavers and low cadaver-to-participant ratio.
