About this course

Our course has been designed by critical care clinicians for students interested in emergency medicine, anaesthetics and intensive care medicine. Students will have a range of subjects to choose from as they develop skills in teaching, simulation and research.

Who is it for?

Our course is for students looking to develop the knowledge and skills needed to become more well-rounded, informed and analytical healthcare professionals. It is primarily designed to introduce, inform and update clinicians on current, practices, debates and research in critical care.

Structure

What you’ll study

Clinical and academic leaders will help you develop the knowledge and skills needed to become a well-rounded, informed and analytical clinician. This degree offers insights, challenges and education into new and rapidly changing advances for all clinicians considering further qualifications and specialisation in any health career.

In anaesthetics and intensive care medicine, you can pursue highly coveted expertise in neuromonitoring, pain management, mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal life support. If emergency medicine is your interest, you may choose coursework in retrieval medicine, point of care ultrasound or clinical reasoning and communication.

There is a wide range of subject areas to choose from and you can develop valuable non-technical skills in teaching, simulation and research.

We have designed quality professional study units for the critical care community, which could greatly assist clinicians in their academic careers. If you successfully complete the entry level certificate/diploma, you may apply to have your work assessed for accreditation towards more study in the Master of Medicine/Master of Science in Medicine in Critical Care.

You will complete: 

  • 24 credit points of stream specific units of study.

Our Graduate Certificate in Medicine (Critical Care Medicine) is offered through our interactive online learning environment, giving you the flexibility to tailor your study schedule around your lifestyle.

Most stream specific units are online (100% online). You may find a couple of electives have a face-to-face component. These can be adjusted depending on your individual preferences.
