Education Policy

The College Education Committee (CEC), the Expert Advisory Groups and the various education and training committees of the RACP are working towards the development of a comprehensive suite of policies and procedures to underpin the range of education programs offered by the College (Divisions, Faculties and Chapters). 

Policies and associated procedures which have been formally approved by the CEC using a standard policy and procedure template are listed below.  During 2010 and beyond the CEC will continue to develop further College-wide and education program specific policies. 

Trainees and Fellows should continue to refer to the relevant training program handbook for requirements and guidelines which are not covered by the policies listed below.
