3. Updated mandatory education and training requirements for ACRRM Registrars
ACRRM has made some updates to the training and education requirements for registrars who started from Semester 2 2024. These changes are as follows:
Registrars commencing from Semester 2, 2024 – changes to emergency medicine course requirements
To streamline the delivery and assessment of emergency skills, the current Tier 1 and Tier 2 emergency medicine course requirements have been removed. These have been replaced by mandatory completion of both REST and ALS2 courses.
This change aligns with the ACRRM Fellowship program, reduces administrative burdens and leverages funded programs. While additional emergency medicine courses are still encouraged, they will no longer be mandatory.
Registrars commencing from Semester 2, 2025 – updates to primary care requirements
New registrars will be required to complete 12 months of primary care training, an increase from the current 6-month requirement. This change will not extend the total training duration, and the 12 months does not need to be completed at the same training post, although a single training post may offer the full duration.
This change is informed by evidence demonstrating that a minimum of 12 months in primary care provides registrars with broader coverage of essential skills and knowledge that better aligns with ACRRM's training program requirements.
ACRRM asserts that these changes will further enhance the preparedness and competency of future rural generalists. For any questions regarding these changes, please contact your regional team.
