General Information
Location
of Training
Basic training takes place in hospitals accredited by the
CPT as suitable for basic training. The accreditation level of the hospital is
determined on the basis of the clinical experiences, facilities and training programs
available for trainees. The CPT determines the suitability of the hospital by
site visits and by obtaining feedback from a Director of Physician Training, basic
and advanced trainees at the site.
Basic training shall be undertaken
in the following categories of hospital:
Level 3 Teaching Hospitals
Australia:
- Up to 33 of the 36 months of basic training may be undertaken in
a level 3 teaching hospital (although it need not be in the one hospital).
- At least 3 months of the 36 months must be satisfactorily completed outside
a level 3 teaching hospital. Ideally this will be in a level 1 teaching hospital
or rural secondment site. If adequate rural rotations are available in the
state or territory, a 3 month period must be spent in these locations. However,
it is recognized that differences exist between the states and territories
and therefore it is acceptable that the required 3 months may be spent in a
level 2 or level 3 teaching hospital in a non metropolitan site.
- At least 12 of the 36 months of basic
training must be spent in a level 3 teaching hospital.
- If only 12 of the
36 months of basic training are spent in a level 3 teaching hospital, only up
to 3 months in a secondment term will be considered as part of the 12 months of
the level 3 teaching hospital experience.
New
Zealand: - Up to 36 months of basic training may be undertaken in
a level 3 teaching hospital (although it need not be in the one hospital).
- Up to 3 months of the 36 months are encouraged to be spent outside a
level 3 teaching hospital.
- At least 12 of the 36 months of basic
training must be spent in a level 3 teaching hospital.
- If only 12 of the
36 months of basic training are spent in a level 3 teaching hospital, only up
to 3 months in a secondment term will be considered as part of the 12 months of
the level 3 teaching hospital experience.

Hospital from a Level 2 or Level 3 Teaching Hospital for 6 months
