Job Summary

This is an exceptional opportunity for doctors with a passion for emergency and critical care medicine who are looking to build — or advance — a career pathway toward Emergency Medicine specialisation.

• Structured EM Training: Attend and deliver core EHCON courses including BLS, ACLS, and PALS — building the procedural and cognitive foundation for emergency medicine certification.
• Research Engagement: Contribute to EHCON-led research — developing the academic profile that strengthens applications for emergency medicine specialist programmes.
