Each year the ASA provides a scholarship, in the form of funding, for a young Australian anaesthetist to spend up to 3 months at the Fiji School of Medicine in Suva. It is usually timed to coincide with the Pacific Society of Anaesthetists Annual Refresher Course in October of each year. Subject to ANZCA approval, this program may be suitable for a trainee in their final year of training.
The primary role of the successful applicant is to provide help with the education program of post-graduate anaesthesia trainees at the Fiji School of Medicine. There is also the opportunity to become involved in clinical anaesthesia at the CWM Hospital.
Interested anaesthetists are encouraged to contact Dr Chris Bowden CBowden@phcn.vic.gov.au
Applications close on 30 June each year.
