the Examination Study Notes - ANZCA/CICM

CICM / ANZCA - Examination Notes

Primary Physiology | Pharmacology | Fellowship ANZCA | Fellowship CICM

I created all of my study notes on a PC. Back in 1990 when I started my primary, I used a wordprocessor called 'Lotus Amipro'. This is still an excellent tool but unfortunately the files are not easily portable to other formats.

As an interim measure, I published the files to Adobe PDF format. While this makes them readily portable, it does remove the ability to edit/change the files. Thus, the files will suffer a decay of currency with time, however they may form a useful guide for the breadth and depth of study required for the ANZCA examinations.

A useful resource is Alan McLintic's Statistics Notes. We maintain a mirror of this to recognise Alan's contribution to trainee education.

For my formal project (ANZCA) I created a teaching aid in interpretation of biochemistry profiles. This was written in Asymetrix Toolbook, which is now obsolete and not supported. You can, however, install the runtime library (up to Windows11) via the executable file below and still run the program:

Should you find any problems with the files, or have any other general comments, please e-mail me.
