Abstract:
:As of October 1985, 37 candidates have passed the final examination in intensive care for the Diploma of Fellow of the Faculty of Anaesthetists, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FFARACS). In September 1984, 23 of these successful candidates responded to a questionnaire seeking information on their educational experiences during training and the nature of their work since the examination. At that time, six were staff specialists in anesthetic practice, one was involved in full-time intensive care research, one was the director of an accident and emergency center, and the remaining 15 were full-time staff specialists or senior registrars in intensive care. The responses to the questions on training indicated that more intensive care and medical experience were considered desirable. Most felt that their training and the examination were useful in determining long-term employment, satisfactory performance in intensive care, and personal job satisfaction.
