When's it changing?
Rollout of the new curricula started in December 2024, with first year trainees who started in 2025 using the TMP to manage their applications and training requirements. Advanced Trainees who started in 2024 will be able to start using the TMP, but don't need to submit an application for entry. Their training program information has been loaded into the TMP, however rotation data for training undertaken in 2024 won't be available until May 2025.
We encourage trainees to meet with the relevant Director of Physician/Paediatric Education (DPE), supervisor and/or medical education staff at their training setting prior to completing the learning and assessment requirements.
