Description
This text has been designed to guide Intensive Care and Anaesthetic trainees in their approach to the clinical components of the Fellowship examinations of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) and Joint Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine (JFICM).

Examination Intensive Care and Anaesthesia comprises three sections. Section 1 deals with the Intensive Care Fellowship Examination:: training requirements, performance strategies, OSCE, hot cases and reference articles. Section 2 deals with the final Anaesthetic Fellowship Examination:: training requirements, performance strategies, anaesthetic and medical vivas and review articles. Section 3 comprises a structured approach to interpretation of data and investigations for both examinations.
