Welcome to the Real World Anaesthesia Course website.
This is not intended to be an exhaustive and definitive guide to working in the Real World.
The Real World Anaesthesia Anaesthesia Course (RWAC) is designed to help anaesthetists wishing to live, work, teach and learn in the Real World – low and middle income countries - where currently more than 2 billion people simply have no access at all to surgery and anaesthesia and some 5 billion people do not have any real possibility of safe, affordable surgical care when needed.
The RWAC course began in Hobart, Tasmania in 1999 and now rotates each year between three antipodean centers of developing country anaesthesia teaching excellence. Phil Blum in Darwin, Chris Bowden in Frankston, Australia, and Wayne Morriss in Christchurch, New Zealand take it in turns to convene this highly popular course.
This website will organically and eclectically grow its content. Initially, it will mainly serve as a site for information about the RWAC courses. In time, it will hopefully become a medium for exchange and enrichment on all sorts of topics pertaining to work in low and middle income countries around the world.
