POSITION SUMMARY 

The WA Intensive Care Training Pathway (WAICTP) is a networked training pathway open to current and future Intensive Care Medicine trainees in Western Australia. The WAICTP enables trainees to complete the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM) Training Program requirements in a streamlined fashion by providing access to training rotations, integrating training across tertiary, outer metropolitan and rural health services, and supporting individual education needs.  

The WAICTP does not replace the existing intensive care training process in WA. The WAICTP provides prospective trainees with a structured approach to time based, rotational, assessment-based College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM) requirements.  

In 2027 the WAICTP supports training rotations at the following hospitals: 

• Armadale Health Service 
• Fiona Stanley Hospital 
• Joondalup Health Campus 
• King Edward Memorial Hospital
• Mount Private Hospital  
• Perth Children’s Hospital 
• Rockingham General Hospital 
• Royal Flying Doctor Service (Jandakot Base) 
• Royal Perth Hospital 
• Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital  
• St John of God Midland Hospital 
• WACHS Albany Hospital
• WACHS Bunbury Hospital  
• WACHS Geraldton Hospital
• WACHS Kalgoorlie Hospital
• WACHS Northam Hospital 

The WAICTP coordinates the selection process, appointments and rotations for trainees in Phase 0, Phase 1 and Phase 2 of training with the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM). The combined selection process and appointment of positions for the Pathway is carried out by the WAICTP Selection Committee. Representatives from participating hospitals are directly involved in the recruitment of intensive care medicine trainees as members of the WAICTP Selection Committee. The recruitment pool is managed by WA Country Health Service with employment contracts issued based on training rotation allocations.   

Training rotations available at the participating hospitals provide access to mandatory training rotations and training time required by the CICM Training program while allowing trainees to gain a wide range of experience in different hospital settings.
