There is no selection progress for trainees entering provisional training. The program is open to any registered medical practitioner.
Trainees undergo a selection process for advanced training although there is no quota applied. Selection to advanced training requires successful completion of 12 months provisional training, a pass in the primary examination and satisfactory structured references. Trainees satisfying all these requirements will move into advanced training.
In-Training Assessments (ITAs) are conducted at standard dates in Australia and New Zealand four times a year. ITAs assess trainee performance in various domains of emergency medicine, mapped to the ACEM curriculum.
