This document provides an overview of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) program at the hospital. It discusses the weekly CME sessions that cover topics relevant to emergency medicine through presentations by consultants, registrars, and allied health staff. Presentations typically last 15 minutes to 2 hours. The CME program also includes workshops on airways, trauma scenarios, case reviews, radiology sessions, and quizzes. Attendance at CME sessions is considered part of registrars' term assessments and certain sessions are mandatory. The document encourages registrars to check the CME schedule, arrive on time, prepare well-researched presentations, attend as many sessions as possible, and provide feedback. An upcoming airway workshop is highlighted.
