When do I need to repeat the course to maintain currency?

Unlike other courses we do not mandate repetition to maintain “currency”. We see ETM as a steppingstone in your trauma education journey. We have had some doctors choose to repeat the course after 3-4 years and found it useful as the course content evolves over time.

How do I join the ETM faculty?

Potential instructors are nominated by faculty after attending an ETM Course. Nominated candidates are invited to submit a CV for review. If successful, they complete two courses as an instructor candidate under mentorship, after which they may be formally invited to join the ETM Course faculty based on their performance.

I'm breastfeeding, will there be anywhere to feed my baby during the course?

ETM will arrange a private space for breastfeeding mothers and their support persons throughout the course. Please contact our admin team at admin@etmcourse.com prior to the course, and we’ll liaise with venue staff to ensure a private room is made available.

I'm a medical student, can I attend the a course as an observer

Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to accept observers on courses. We are still inducting several new instructors per course, which means the course instructors, course directors and course co-ordinators are extremely busy and unable to provide enough supervision and time for observers.
