The Subcommittee currently has vacancies for 2 Fellows who are interested in contributing towards discussions and the decision-making process on the accreditation of a training provider (settings) and the Adult Internal Medicine Basic Training Program.

This is a particularly exciting time to join the Subcommittee following implementation of the new Training Provider Accreditation Program in 1 January 2021 for all basic training settings.

The accreditation of training settings is an essential activity that ensures high quality training environments for tomorrow’s physicians. The College and the Adult Internal Medicine Basic Training Committee are responsible for ensuring all training is undertaken in accredited training settings, and this is managed by the Adult Medicine Division Accreditation Subcommittee.

Key responsibilities:

• attend at least 4 Subcommittee meetings a year (meetings generally run for approximately 5 hours in total with the first 2 hours allocated for decisions regarding Joint Training Provider accreditation, in collaboration with the Basic Training Paediatric & Child Health Division)
• reading time for agendas and papers, delivered approximately 1 week before each Subcommittee meeting
• flexibility and a willingness to support the rollout and implementation of the new accreditation program and accreditation of training settings and its Adult Internal Medicine Basic Training Program
• contribute to accreditation reviews by attending site visits (physically/virtually) as an accreditor, completing progress report and document reviews of settings and their adult medicine basic training program
• contribute to joint discussion and decision-making on the accreditation of training settings which offer Adult Medicine and Paediatrics & Child Health basic training programs
• liaise with and be assisted by the Training Accreditation Services team in completing accreditation related activities.

Members are appointed to the Subcommittee for a 3-year term with the option to renew a further term.

This is a voluntary position, however to support and thank you for your contributions towards accreditation, you'll receive CPD points for your completed activities.

In addition, all relevant travel, meals and accommodation costs for attending face-to-face Subcommittee meetings and any site visits are covered by the College, in accordance with the RACP Travel Policy and Guidelines (PDF).
