Joint and conjoint training
Some Advanced Training pathways let you work towards more than one Fellowship at the same time. These are called joint or conjoint training options.
Joint training
A joint training program is a single, combined training pathway that leads to more than one Fellowship.
These are usually Divisional Advanced Training programs offered in partnership with other medical colleges. Joint training programs are integrated — you don’t complete each program separately. They significantly reduce your overall training time compared to completing each Fellowship on its own.
You’ll be awarded multiple Fellowships once you finish the joint program.
Conjoint training
Conjoint training means you're completing two separate training programs at the same time. Each program leads to its own Fellowship.
Training combinations
Two different RACP programs
e.g. Divisional training in Geriatric Medicine + Faculty training in Rehabilitation Medicine
A RACP program and an external program
e.g. Addiction Medicine with RACP + Addiction Psychiatry with the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists
You must complete all administrative processes and program requirements for each training program you're enrolled in.
