Rural Generalists are continuing to benefit from ACRRM’s new Paediatric Emergencies for Rural Generalists course—a program designed specifically to prepare doctors for the unique realities of managing critically ill children in rural and remote practice.
Many Rural Generalists are seeking training that reflects the latest evidence and is tailored to the realities of rural and remote practice. ACRRM’s Paediatric Emergencies for Rural Generalists course provides a Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) qualification and exceeds the standards defined by ANZCOR.
Through innovative, cutting-edge educational techniques, participants gain their PALS qualification in less time. Interactive online modules completed before the workshop increase efficiency, removing the need for lectures and allowing more time for skills practice and scenario-based learning during the face-to-face component.
The course content is grounded in current evidence-based practice and ANZCOR guidelines. With a strong practical focus—such as hands-on experience in drawing up adrenaline doses—participants don’t just learn what to do, they build the confidence to do it in real emergencies.
