Recognition in a subspecialty without completion of the relevant Advanced Training program
The policy provides an assessment framework for FRACP Fellows to be recognised in a specialty other than that in which they trained. Recognition depends on the basis of learning (either certified or experiential), acquired competence and professional development in that specialty over a substantial period of professional practice. The policy also provides an avenue for individuals who gained Fellowship of the RACP before SACs/JSACs/STCs were established to be recognised in a specialty.
