If your career is in retrieval medicine, or you’d like it to be, you might want to strongly consider sitting the Diploma in Retrieval and Transfer Medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. There is no course, just two days of exams based on a curriculum published on the College Website.

The exam is open to physicians, nurses, and paramedics with retrieval experience, and it is no longer a requirement that the candidate be registered in the UK. Holders of the diploma are entitled to use the postnominals ‘DRTM RCSEd’, which is reason enough to take the plunge.
