You opted to receive all your correspondence from the College on this email address.  

How do I access the tools?

Users need to sign into the Portal (see how do I login? for more information) to access the available tools. 

Which tools are available?

The tools that are currently active and accessible are:

  • Learning Needs Analysis
  • Professional Qualities Reflection
  • Mini-CEX tool
  • Progress Reports

How do I access the Mini-CEX Assessor Resources? 

Mini-CEX assessor resources are accessed by clicking on the "Mini-CEX Assessor Resource" button in the Mini-CEX page of the portal. It has been designed as a teaching and learning resource to support supervisors in utilising the Mini-CEX effectively. 

Why can’t I access the Mini-CEX resource?

This resource can only be accessed by members of the College.

Why run/rotations aren’t listed in the Hospital / Location dropdown box of the Mini-CEX?

Case Details 

The information listed in the Hospital / Location drop-down box is based on the information the trainee provided the RACP during registration.   

If this is not correct, the trainee needs to download the ‘Annual Application form' available on the members website>training & exams>annual application (form will differ according to whether you are in Australia or New Zealand and whether you are training in Adult medicine or Paediatrics).

Once the changes have been made on the form, signed by the relevant authority (DPE etc), the information will be updated on the Mini-CEX once the form has been processed.

Who do I contact if there is a problem?

Australia: prep@racp.edu.au 
New Zealand: prep@racp.org.nz 

If you have forgotten your password and you do not receive an automatic email after requesting another, contact the College at racp@racp.edu.au or phone (+61) (02) 9256 5444. (see ‘I forgot my password for more information’).
