getting into anaesthetics

[rgaj]

I'm an F2 and going to be applying for anaesthetics/ACCS in november and was wondering what courses to attend?? I know there's a few like ATLS, PACS, BASICS, IMPACT. Any other pointers and advise would be extremely helpful!

You won't be able to attend IMPACT until you've completed 8 months of medicine as an FY2. But you've already listed all the course that will give you points in your application. There are plenty of other courses you could attend, but you'll need to be doing them to show interest and because you want to rather than the specific aim of improving your application. All it will show is commitment.

Thank you messiah. What other courses are there and how do I go about finding out about them? Many thanks.
