Training in Association with Faculties

Trainees are encouraged to consider training which might lead to Fellowship of the College and a Faculty. Training in some subspecialties of adult internal medicine may be suitable for recognition towards training in one of the faculties, particularly Public Health Medicine and Rehabilitation Medicine. Conversely some parts of a faculty training program may be recognised towards College Fellowship.

Trainees considering such a possibility should, in the first instance raise the matter with the College Head of the Department of Training and Assessment who will facilitate liaison with the Chairs of the relevant Boards of Censors and/or the coordinator of advanced training (CAT) of the relevant SAC.

Training in Public Health Medicine
Training in public health medicine is undertaken under the supervision of the AFPHM. This training can be done entirely with the Faculty and leads to the qualification FAFPHM (see training handbook of the Faculty). Those who wish to become Fellows of the College and of the Faculty, will be required to satisfactorily complete basic physician training and the FRACP Examination before enrolling in the Faculty training program. A committee consisting of the Faculty BOC and a member of the CPT of the College will supervise training. Award of FRACP will be dependent on satisfactory completion of advanced training and completion of the training requirements of the Faculty.
