RANZCR - The new RANZCR Radiodiagnosis Training Program

Phase 1 Trainee Progression Requirements
Trainees commencing in the new training program will be mailed a learning and assessment portfolio. The learning and assessment portfolio is used across the whole training program to compile a documentary record of learning and activities, helping to demonstrate that the specified skills and knowledge of a diagnostic radiologist have been acquired.

Trainees are required to compile a portfolio to include all required training and assessment documentation for the duration of the training program. Trainees must also make their portfolio available for review and assessment at specified stages in training. Directors of Training (DOTs) will need to review each trainee’s learning portfolio to ascertain if all required training and assessments relevant to the trainee’s stage of training have been completed, as part of the bi annual DOT Assessment.

There are key milestones that trainees must achieve at specific times during phase 1 (years 1-3) of training.

It is the trainee’s responsibility to ensure they are meeting the training program assessments in accordance with the trainee progression requirements. It is not the responsibility of Directors of Training or Clinical Supervisors to remind trainees when assessments are due.

Assessment Guide for Directors of Training and Clinical Supervisors

Clinical supervisors are responsible for ensuring that trainees are supervised and monitored appropriately, are afforded appropriate learning opportunities, attend relevant training and teaching sessions. Clinical supervisors should also provide some direct face-to-face teaching as appropriate.

Directors of Training are responsible for ensuring that training networks and sites meet accreditation standards and provide appropriate teaching, training and supervision. Directors of Training must also complete the 6 monthly DOT assessments for trainees.

It is the trainee’s responsibility to ensure they are completing the training program assessments according to the trainee progression requirements.

The Radiology Curriculum and Assessment Committee (CAC) has put together a number of resources that can be used and adapted by Directors of Training, Clinical Supervisors and trainees to assist in teaching and learning activities.
