Training program requirements

Reclassification as Partially Comparable


Participants reclassified as partially comparable

If you’re assessed as not meeting the required Fellowship standards after resitting your assessment (your 2nd attempt), you’ll have a meeting with your medical educator to review your results, receive feedback, and discuss your transfer to the PC stream and its implications.

 Important!
If you’re reclassified as partially comparable, you’ll need to meet the location requirements for the partially comparable stream. This may mean you’ll need to move and find a new practice in an MM 2 to MM 7 location, even if you were previously working in an MM 1 DPA practice under the substantially comparable stream. This is part of ensuring you meet the General Practice Fellowship Placement Guidelines.

When you transfer to the PC stream, you won’t be required to complete the training program again (Part D below). You’ll commence on the PC stream directly in Part E, preparing for and attempting the Fellowship exams.

Impact on program time cap

The program time cap will be adjusted for participants re-classified as partially comparable:

  • If you’re working in your practice on a full-time basis, your time cap will be increased from one to two calendar years. Any time already completed on the SC stream will contribute to your revised time cap.

  • If you’re working in your practice on a part-time basis, your time cap will be increased from two to four calendar years pro rata. Any time already completed on the SC stream will contribute to your revised time cap.

For information on the Fellowship exams and exam preparation activities on the PC stream, refer to the PEP SP Participant Handbook - Partially Comparable Stream.
