This page displays options for you to grow your professional network in person, such as conferences or participation in Special Interest Group meetings, as well as ways for you to explore contemporary issues in your area of interest (e.g. past conference papers and presentations, etc.).
The Faculty of Pain Medicine run a range of events throughout the year around Australia and New Zealand to give fellows and trainees an opportunity to meet their CPD requirements and engage with the faculty around key issues. Many events are also open to the wider medical community.
The FPM Symposium and Spring Meeting are both held annually. The FPM Symposium is usually held in conjunction with the ANZCA ASM.
Find out about upcoming conferences in anaesthesia and pain medicine, both national and international, and set up conference alerts to stay up-to-date with speakers and themes in your area of interest. Most conferences have alerts you can sign up to on their website for the conference.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
The special interest groups (SIGs) are jointly managed by ANZCA, the Australian Society of Anaesthetists and the New Zealand Society of Anaesthetists. Any anaesthetists with an interest in these areas can join together to study, report and develop educational events such as continuing medical education (CME) meetings on specific areas of anaesthesia.
There are 17 SIGs, which all have dedicated pages on the ANZCA website; in addition there are specialist guides maintained by the Library to promote resources in these topic areas, which are listed on the ANZCA Library Guides homepage.
SIGs provide an opportunity to:
Visit the SIG webpage for your area of interest for more information about the SIG and related events.
Online communities, forums and discussion groups on social platforms such as LinkedInare a great way to learn and make connections.
