About this Program

A workplace-based introduction to build a solid foundation for GP anaesthetics training.   


Pro Start Anaesthetics helps you obtain the knowledge and skills you need to gain a Core Clinical Training rotation in anaesthetics, which can also be applied to other areas such as obstetrics and emergency medicine.  

ACRRM recognises this program to satisfy the Core Clinical Training requirements in anaesthetics for candidates undertaking the FACRRM.  

The program is designed to be completed through a combination of readings, prescribed activities (with assessment by the GP anaesthetist supervisor) and theatre work (15 theatre sessions, 3.5 hours per session) utilising a convenient and easy-to-use online platform. Theatre logbook sheets, activity sign off and module feedback forms are included to monitor your progress and achievements.   

Participants are required to source their own supervisor. This is usually a GP anaesthetist, but may be a specialist anaesthetist. Your supervisor will assess the activities and verify the logbook records and will receive access to the learning platform at no extra charge. It is up to both you and your supervisor to manage all of the theatre sessions, modules and activities.   

 You will receive 18 months access to this course, however, participants usually complete the program within 6-12 months.
