When should I first contact the College regarding admission to Fellowship?

Towards the end of your Transition Year you should check your dashboard to ensure all training requirements are met in order to be eligible for admission. If you are completing the pre-2014 curriculum, you should contact the College well before you wish to be admitted to determine any outstanding requirements that may delay the admission process.

Who is responsible for approving my application for admission to Fellowship?

The College staff determine your eligibility and forward the required documentation to the Fellowship Admissions Committee. This committee is made up of the current College President, Censor and the Chair of the Assessments Committee.

When does the Fellowship Admissions Committee meet?

All admissions are done in batches and the Committee discusses Fellowship eligibility via email.

How long will my admission review take?

Upon receipt of all necessary documentation and payment of fees, you need to allow up to six weeks before you’re notified of the outcome.

Will the College confirm my admission before the review is complete?

No. We strongly advise that all applications to Fellowship are not left to the last minute as we are unable to expedite the process for individual circumstances.

How do I get my specialist qualification recognised outside of the College of Intensive Care Medicine (CICM)?

When your admission has been approved, a letter from the President will be provided via email and post. It is your responsibility to organise specialist recognition with any relevant bodies outside of the College.

When will I receive my official diploma?

When your admission is approved, your official diploma is hand-signed by members of the College Board at a meeting following your admission (Board meets three times per year). The diploma may take several weeks to arrive.

Do I need my official diploma to apply for jobs?

We have found that the admission letter from the President is adequate, however it depends on the requirements of the individual employer. We advise that you check ahead of time.

When can I attend the graduation ceremony?

New Fellows are eligible to attend the Graduation Ceremony at one of the three ASMs following their admission to Fellowship.  
We have a strict deadline for registering to graduate. If you are admitted to Fellowship after the deadline, you will still be eligible to graduate at one of the next three ASMs.
