Selection into Basic Training Quality Assurance and Improvement

Basic Training Discovery Phase

The discovery phase was guided by a set of structured questions, with responses and findings presented in the Basic Training Discovery Phase report (PDF). Stakeholder identification and engagement were undertaken alongside a review of available information about entry and selection processes for each Basic Physician Training (BT) program across jurisdictions. Where possible, RACP staff met with key stakeholders and those involved in selection delivery to confirm desktop findings and explore the local context.

Basic Training Evaluation Phase

The next stage is to look at the current state of Basic Training recruitment and selection practices through the lens of the RACP’s Selection into Basic Training criteria and the RACP’s Selection into Training Policy, and to further explore with stakeholders their perceptions of the strengths, areas for development and opportunities for further quality improvement regarding selection practices.

Selection into Advanced Training Quality Assurance and Improvement

Advanced Training Discovery and Evaluation Phases 

We're approaching the AT stage of this project with a combined Discovery and Evaluation phase. The project team has conducted a desktop analysis of pathways to entry into the training programs offered by the RACP.

The team is now engaging with stakeholder groups directly involved in the selection processes for each specialty to confirm our record of current processes and understand the challenges to ensuring equitable access to training and workforce from a range of key stakeholder perspectives.
