Purpose of Advanced Training
Purpose of Advanced Training
The RACP offers Advanced Training in 33 diverse medical specialties as part of Division, Chapter, or Faculty training programs.
The purpose of Advanced Training is to develop a workforce of physicians who:
have received breadth and depth of focused specialist training, and experience with a wide variety of health problems and contexts
are prepared for and committed to independent expert practice, lifelong learning, and continuous improvement
provide safe, quality health care that meets the needs of the communities of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Australasian Faculty of Public Health Medicine respects Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and the Māori peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand as Indigenous peoples respectively of these two countries. We respectfully use the shorter phrase “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and Māori (tangata whenua)” in the remainder of the curriculum materials.
