Please note exemptions from the CICM Primary examination are not guaranteed and in most cases unlikely. A possible exemption is dependent on where your qualification/training occurred in conjuction with your overall experience. All decisions are individually based and the Censor will make a decision based on a combination of your qualification, previous training and experience. It is therefore important to provide us with us much information about your past as possible. The best way to do this is to fill in the registration form and send it in to us with the relevant documentation.
To discuss your training situation or to seek further advice on the possibility of an exemption, please contact the College Office on (03) 9514 2888.The CICM Fellowship Examination may be undertaken following the successful completion of at least 12 months of Advanced Core Intensive Care training. This Examination is conducted twice a year, with the written sections held in any capital city in Australia, and some cities in New Zealand and Hong Kong. The oral/clinical sections of the Examination are held alternatively in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
Please note that, in order for Advanced training to be recognised, trainees must register within three months of commencing in an approved post.
A separate endorsement is available in Paediatric Intensive Care, based on the above training program.
