Rehabilitation Physician Training

Rehabilitation Medicine Training Programs

The Faculty's role covers the training of Rehabilitation Physicians, in both adult and paediatric fields. To this end, the Faculty provides a clearly defined pathway in medical education. This leads to an internationally respected postgraduate professional qualification, the Fellowship of the Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine [FAFRM (RACP)]. 

The AFRM training programs are based on the apprenticeship model and consist of three years - Paediatric Rehabilitation Medicine - or four years - Rehabilitation Medicine (general) - of clinical training, as well as an integrated component of formal education, which includes the completion of a series of training modules. 

The Rehabilitation Medicine Advanced Training Handbook and the Paediatric Rehabilitation Medicine Advanced Training Handbook detail the Faculty's Rehabilitation Physician Training Programs and criteria for entry to training.
