An Invitation
On behalf of the course faculty we cordially invite you to participate in the 4th Consultant Intensivist Transition Course to be held at The Blackman - Art Series Hotel, Melbourne, VIC from June 13-15, 2012.
The curriculum reflects the needs of new specialists who wish to more effectively move from diligent Senior Registrar to confident Junior Intensivist.
The enthusiastic faculty bring to the program a wealth of experiences that have shaped their own adjustments. The blending of these, with their combined knowledge and skills that include experiential teaching methods, mannikin-based simulation and health management, promise to make this an event not to be missed.
The first course was held in June 2010 and the places rapidly filled. Feedback continues to be positive. Register NOW!
Who should attend?
The course is specifically designed for recently qualified Intensivists who have started work in an Australasian Intensive Care Unit.
