The College Assessment Committee (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 provides direction on:
- improving quality across examinations and work-based assessments
- overseeing governance of assessment
- advising on assessment blueprints
- reviewing assessment subcommittees
- monitoring risks and issues relating to assessment
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.
