AST covers a minimum of one year of the four-year ACRRM Fellowship program. 

Deepen your knowledge and skills in a procedural or non-procedural discipline including Population Health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, Anaesthetics and Emergency Medicine and more. 

AST expands your professional scope and can include clinical privileging in hospitals, access to additional Medical Benefits Scheme item numbers as well as contributing to and expanding the pool of medical services in rural and remote communities.

Fellows can complete an AST outside of training to enhance their qualification.
