Feedback and evaluation
Thank you to everyone who took part in our recent survey and interview opportunities.
Your feedback has helped us better understand your experiences with the new curricula.
We'll share the findings from this part of the evaluation on the Educational Research and Evaluation page in the coming months.
You can continue to provide feedback anytime, even outside formal evaluation opportunities, either by completing the feedback survey or by emailing us at evaluation@racp.edu.au.
We’re evaluating how the new curricula training programs are going – starting with early rollout and continuing into long-term outcomes such as graduate outcomes.
What we’re aiming for
This is a long-term evaluation. We want to:
- review how the new curricula are being implemented so we can adjust and improve as needed
- understand whether the programs are meeting their goals, including graduate outcomes and the adoption of competency-based medical education (CBME) principles
You can provide feedback on your experiences with the new curriculum anytime by completing our 5-minute feedback survey.
Your feedback will help us:
- identify areas for improvement
- strengthen support for trainees and educators
- highlight what’s working well
See our Educational Research and Evaluation page for more about how we evaluate programs and to read past reports.
Workforce capacity
We understand these changes - and the new technology system - take time and effort.
A recent survey helped us learn what supervisors are experiencing and what support they need. This is guiding our action plan, which includes:
- advocating for protected time for supervision
- providing clearer expectations, shorter resources and quicker support
We’re taking a phased approach to rollout. Here’s what you can expect:
- fewer assessment requirements in 2025 so we can start slowly and learn from experience
- more data to help us understand the time and resources needed
- evidence from the evaluation to support advocacy for supervisor time
- regular updates to directors of physician or paediatric education and heads of department as things progress and before assessments increase in 2026
