Consultation opportunities: Streamline and Shorten the Training Pathway for Specialists Consultation
RSVP by Friday 17 April 2026
Participate in a series of online consultation workshops being held as part of the Council of Presidents of Medical Colleges (CPMC) Exploring Innovative Models to Streamline and Shorten the Training Pathway for Specialists project.
Online consultation sessions will be held on:
This project, funded by the Department of Health, Disability and Aged Care under the Health Workforce program, aims to identify innovative opportunities to modernise and streamline specialist medical training programs, including:
- Exploring shared competencies across specialties and subspecialties
- Identifying opportunities for cross‑college collaboration
- Modernising training pathways to improve efficiency and flexibility
Work completed to date includes:
- A review of international and comparable training pathways
- Analysis of barriers to timely progression
- Consideration of improvements to supervision models
- Assessment of training processes and enabling technologies
These consultations are a key opportunity to gather direct insights from supervisors and trainees regarding the delivery and experience of specialist training. Your feedback on emerging themes and potential reform options will help us shape future recommendations for improving training pathways as we look to understand the impact on supervisors and trainees.
Online consultation sessions will be held on:
- Tuesday, 26 May 2026
- Thursday, 28 May 2026
Across both days, 3 one-hour sessions will be offered:
- 8:00 am – 9:00 am (AEST)
- 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (AEST)
- 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm (AEST)
