The Perioperative Medicine (POM) Roles in Practice describe the roles of POM and how they apply to a contemporary practice. There are seven POM Roles in Practice, modelled closely upon ANZCA’s “Roles in Practice”. These Roles are relatively generic (by their nature) and are assessable via learning outcomes throughout POM training. They have relevance in all POM Topic Areas.
This guide contains resources to aid in understanding these roles based on the ANZCA Roles in Practice and will be expanded to provide any POM specific resources as required.
