Training unit accreditation
The Faculty accredits training units to provide approved training in pain medicine for Faculty of Pain Medicine trainees. Accreditation is based on information provided in a questionnaire to the unit and a site visit by the Faculty to assess a unit's ability to provide training and supervision of the required standard, and its degree of compliance with FPM professional documents.
The criteria for accrediting a multidisciplinary pain unit are detailed in Professional Document PM2: Guidelines for Units Offering Training in Multidisciplinary Pain Medicine.
Units wishing to apply for accreditation should complete the questionnaire and submit it to painmed@anzca.edu.au
There are 25 accredited training units in Australia and New Zealand, one in Hong Kong and one in Singapore.
