We at 1Medical are always looking for ways to assist doctors in furthering their education or reach their career goals. Therefore, we are keen to assist Advanced Trainees with the Australian College of Emergency Medicine Fellowship in success of their Fellowship Written and OSCE exams. We know both of these exams are extremely challenging and it’s the final hurdle prior to being granted your FACEM. That’s why we have partnered with ACE Education as they are fast becoming the leading Emergency Medicine Fellowship Education company in terms of their success conversion with doctors who attend their courses. This program entails 6-12 month online programs with interactive live Webinars conducted weekly in small numbers, followed by an in depth 3-4 day immersive course prior to each of the exam sittings. If this sounds like something that may be of use to you, please read on for more information and get in touch with us Benjamin Lepke at 1Medical to discuss an introduction.
