To successfully complete each training term, you must:

  • satisfactorily meet all education and training requirements
  • be assessed as successfully completing the training term.

If you don’t successfully complete a training term, you won’t be able to progress to the next training term. If you need to repeat a training term, this will be offered in the form of a focused learning intervention (FLI) or remediation. Your medical educator will ensure this is communicated with you.
