title: Australian intensive care educational links with Asian countries.
abstract: A survey examining the level of Australian Intensive Care Unit involvement in the education of Asian critical care doctors and nurses was performed. Of the 49 hospitals surveyed, 34% have ongoing links. An analysis of countries involved, proportion of medical and nursing numbers, and whether the teaching was performed in Australia or the Asian country was undertaken. The survey revealed that a high proportion of Australian Intensive Care Units are actively involved, or would consider future participation, in educational links with Asian units.
