Formal Project is sent to 2 separate reviewers residing in
different states to the trainee. Each reviewer will use
the Formal Project Assessment Form to evaluate the trainee's project. If a consensus
cannot be reached, the panel chair will make the final
decision.

After 6-8 weeks, results are given to
the trainee.
This does not include time needed to review
a project resubmission if requested by the panel.

As the College is unable to expedite the assessment process,
trainees are advised to submit the project with sufficient time in
order to avoid delays with the commencement of Transition Training
or the award of Fellowship.
The Felicity Hawker Medal was established in 2004 to honour Dr
Felicity Hawker, inaugural Dean of the Joint Faculty of Intensive
Care Medicine. It was adopted by the College upon its establishment
in 2010.
Trainees and Fellows within one year of award of Fellowship are
given the opportunity to present the material used for their CICM
Formal Project submission at the Felicity Hawker Medal session. This
is held every year at the CICM Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) and
is awarded to the trainee or Fellow who is judged as the best
presenter.
For further details on eligibility and submission
requirements, please see T-29 Guidelines on the Award of the Felicity Hawker Medal.
How long does it generally take for a project to be assessed?
The panel consists of Fellows who assess projects on a voluntary
basis in addition to their normal hospital / teaching commitments.
Please allow at least 6 weeks for
review. This period may be longer if there are any issues with the
submission.
What happens if a project is rejected?
If a project does not meet the minimum standards set out in
the Formal Project Requirements, it will not be sent to the review panel. If the panel decides a
project is unsatisfactory, specific instructions will be given to
assist with a re-submission.
Does the project supervisor have to be an ICU consultant?
No, however it is preferred that the supervisor’s evaluation
report is completed by a Fellow of the College as they are more
involved in the requirements.
Does the project have to be presented?
Yes. Please refer to the project requirements for specific
details.
Can a project be assessed by the College before it has been
presented?
Unless being presented at the Felicity Hawker Medal session of the
Annual Scientific Meeting, all projects must be presented prior to
submission.
Who assesses the project?
All projects are assessed by members of the Formal Project Panel.
Each project is assessed individually by two reviewers from
different states/territories. If they disagree on the assessment,
it will go to the Formal Project Panel Chair for a final decision.
College Members can access a number of previously accepted Formal
Projects from within the Members Portal.
Members will
find a list of Formal Projects in the Education tab under the
Resources section.
