This 14 month long, structured program focuses on preparation for ECC Membership examination & the development of advanced emergency skills.
This exciting modular program is dedicated
to providing a high quality, clinically relevant
training in emergency medicine.
This blended learning program is a combination of live, online and face to face resources and includes comprehensive Module notes, accompanying webinar recordings, resources and Membership-level examinations questions, including key marked answer library.
Supporting online tutorials with the module specialist accompany each of the modules – giving opportunity for direct individual feedback and Q & A. These sessions are recorded and uploaded to the online learning platform, allowing you to work through materials at your own pace and time.
The final weekend is a combination of specialist-run tutorials and one-on-one viva exam prep – essential preparation for delegates pursuing their ECC post-nominal qualifications.
*Improve International does not imply either endorsement of this program or affiliation by/with the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.
Enrolment numbers in the Membership Prep program are limited to provide the best opportunity for delegates.
It is a recommendation that vets entering this program have completed introductory or prior personal study in emergency medicine and critical care – (please refer to the AES Accelerated Emergency Program) and to be currently working in clinical veterinary practice.
Please also note – while this program is designed to prepare those working towards ECC Membership, general practitioners with a strong interest in emergency medicine will gain significant theoretical knowledge with practical applications and skills relevant to all aspects of their clinical work.

"I highly recommend the Improve EMCC membership preparation course for anyone planning on sitting their membership exams. There is an overwhelming amount of content to get through before sitting the exam and this course helped me structure my study in a way that I felt fully prepared prior to sitting, The face-to-face sessions were fantastic for tying everything together and were filled with helpful exam tips to give you the best chance of passing."
