Other Training Considerations
Interrupted Training
Normally
Basic Training should be continuous. If your training program is interrupted
for more than two years, the CPPT will normally require a period of training
additional to the minimum requirements of the program. You may sit for
the FRACP Examination during a period
of interrupted training providing you have completed Basic Training.

Part-time Training
Although it is strongly recommended that you complete Basic Training
full-time, part-time training may be an acceptable option, provided that
any positions held are equivalent to 50% or more of full-time training.
In addition, all the requirements of full-time training must be met and
the total length of training must equal 36 months full-time equivalent.

Examination, in the subsequent year you should:

Occupational Training Visa Class Trainees
If you are working in Australian hospitals under the Occupational Training
Visa Class Category and you wish to join the training program of the
College you are required to register with the College and to pay the appropriate
fees. Your training up to the time of your application will be assessed
for its equivalence to that of an Australian trainee and you will be notified
of further training requirements.

Rural Training
The College wishes to promote rural training at both Basic and Advanced
Training levels. There is a shortage of services provided by paediatricians
in rural Australia. Rural posts offer excellent training and provide an
opportunity for you to experience practice in a non-metropolitan setting.
Training in rural
settings may be achieved during Basic Training by rotation to rural
Secondment Hospitals. As long as the level of supervision is adequate
and the workload appropriate to training in paediatrics, this training
can count towards the requirement for general paediatric medical terms
during Basic Training.
