In accordance with our Gender Equity in Medicine and Membership Diversity and Inclusion principles, we actively promote and encourage diverse representation in all College activities.
The CAC is the lead committee for assessment functions across our training programs. It acts as the expert body for assessment, develops standards and policy, and ensures high-quality practices through the consistent application of established RACP assessment standards and processes across training programs.
The Committee meets up to 4 times per year, with 1 in-person meeting held in Sydney.
As an Aotearoa New Zealand Representative, you'll provide perspectives and advice to the Assessment Committee that reflects the context of Aotearoa New Zealand, including alignment with local regulatory frameworks, health priorities, and training environments.
You'll bring a New Zealand lens to assessment practices, ensuring that processes and content appropriately reflect the binational nature of the College and support equitable outcomes for all trainees.
You'll help ensure that assessment design, delivery, and review reflect the unique healthcare system, cultural context, and training experiences of Aotearoa New Zealand trainees.
You'll also promote consideration of Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles within assessment processes and provide insight into the evolving medical education landscape across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Members are appointed for an initial 3-year term, with the option to renew.
To apply, submit an expression of interest form (DOC) and your CV to Dr Mike Tweed, Chair of the College Assessment Committee, at cac@racp.edu.au, including a short summary of your relevant knowledge and experience in education, assessment principles and methodologies.
