Emergency Medicine Education and Training (EMET) Program

Emergency Medicine Education and Training (EMET) Program - Expression of Interest
The Emergency Medicine Education and Training (EMET) Program was established by the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) in 2011. The Commonwealth Department of Health funds ACEM to administer the EMET Program as a component of the Specialist Training Program (STP).

The Program aims to boost the quality of and access to emergency care in areas of need, particularly in rural Australia, through the increased provision of emergency medicine education, training and supervision delivered by Fellows of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (FACEMs).

To be eligible to be a hub, a hospital should be:
- a rural hospital, typically the region’s referral hospital, or
- a metropolitan hospital or retrieval service delivering outreach only.
An eligible training site is an emergency care facility with a low FACEM workforce* and/or in a rural location. A training site is typically within the same health jurisdiction as the hub.

*Where FACEM staffing is less than one FTE FACEM per 10,000 presentations.

Please refer to the following documents for your application:
- Emergency Medicine Education and Training (EMET) Program Framework
- Emergency Medicine Education and Training (EMET) Program Guidelines

Proposed EMET Delivery Model*

Outreach and In-HouseOutreach onlyIn-house only
*Hubs delivering EMET in-house only are limited to those hospitals that are geographically isolated from their regional referral hospital and who cannot receive EMET through the typical Hub and Training Site model.
Will the delivery model include provision for 'buy in' FACEM time*? *
* Regional hospitals without specialist emergency physicians on staff can 'buy in' FACEM supervision and training to deliver the EMET Program
Will the delivery model include provision for a Retrieval Service model? (i.e. FACEMs working for a Retrieval Service that visit training sites across the state)*
Will the majority of EMET activities be delivered to staff from regional/remote locations?*
Will the majority of EMET activities be delivered to staff from sites with less than one FACEM per 10,000 emergency presentations?*
If no, please provide ratio of FACEM/Emergency presentations

5. Non-Specialist Training (Emergency Medicine Certificate and Diploma - EMC/D/AD)

(refer to section 3.2 of the EMET Program Guidelines)
