Monash Doctors Education has developed 2 workshops that are designed to provide HMOs with the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge on a range of important professional topics. Each workshop is facilitated through small group learning and is delivered in a practical and interactive way by Monash Health clinicians and staff.

• Ultrasound guided peripheral iv access
• The JMO role in NFR orders
