Emergency Medicine- Pocus and EMS Application Update for Royal College AFC (diploma) Discipline
Emergency Medicine
The Royal College issued an update about the status of the application for an Area of Focused Competence (AFC-diploma) in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Acute Care Point of Care Ultrasonography (Acute Care POCUS). Both applications have been approved for recognition as AFC (diploma) disciplines. They are now in the first steps toward operationalization, which involves the organization of a working group to oversee the initial stages of implementation prior to the appointment of an AFC (diploma) committee. The working group will be responsible for finalizing the standards documents, including the summative portfolio, and the appointment of the AFC (diploma) committee to oversee the discipline.
