Training program requirements

Education and training

Table 2. Mandatory training terms and time requirements

Hospital training and core vocational training are mandatory for all registrars, regardless of the Fellowship they’re working towards. The extended skills training term is an opportunity to further develop skills in a particular area.

Additional training options include additional rural skills training (ARST) and core emergency medicine training (both for registrars undertaking rural generalist training) and approved academic posts (within a university).

To successfully complete each training term, you must:

1. satisfactorily complete the required number of weeks of FTE training (specified in Table 2). This time cannot be reduced to accelerate training (except in the case of RPLE being granted).
2. satisfactorily meet all education and training requirements
3. be assessed as successfully completing the training term.

If you don’t successfully complete a training term, refer to the section on Extension for training and assessment purposes for more information.
