FAMUS

Full details of the FAMUS accreditation process can be found on the Society for Acute Medicine website here. We have recently moved to a modular accreditation process to allow training to be tailored to an individual’s learning needs. A summary outline of the training process is shown below:

A Supervisor is required to have complete understanding of the module(s) for which they supervise, and be registered on the SAM database. They may be any grade clinician who can demonstrate both the underlying knowledge and teaching experience within the relevant module(s). As a guide, FAMUS accreditation for at least a year with regular ongoing experience and some teaching exposure would often suffice to become a FAMUS supervisor.

Supervisors must be registered on the FAMUS database, which will require them to submit an application form to the administrator and await approval by the committee. For full details of how to apply including the application form see the Society for Acute Medicine website here.

An up to date list of Supervisors is available via the Society for Acute Medicine website (here), who administer the Supervisor application process. Details of how to apply to become a Supervisor are available from the same page.
