Launched in 2023, the ANZCA Course in Perioperative Medicine is a key element of ANZCA’s strategic plan to establish an integrated, patient-centred approach to perioperative care in Australia and New Zealand. 

The course is the first in the world to offer clinical immersion with guidance and support from graduates of the Chapter of Perioperative Medicine. It will be overseen by the new Board of the Chapter of Perioperative Medicine and the Chapter of Perioperative Medicine Education and Assessment Committee. 

This qualification enables specialist doctors, such as anaesthetists, surgeons, physicians, intensivists, and general practitioners to enhance their skills and knowledge in perioperative medicine.
