In order to be awarded the FRANZCR and therefore be eligible for recognition
and registration as a Specialist in Radiology, a trainee must:
- pass both Part I and Part II FRANZCR examinations in Radiology; and
- complete a minimum of five years of practical training in training
positions accredited by the RANZCR.
The Part I FRANZCR may only be sat by candidates who occupy accredited
training positions. Candidates will not be permitted to sit the Part I
subjects separately.
The Part II FRANZCR consists of two subjects (Pathology and Radiology).
Radiology and Pathology Examinations must be taken together unless one
subject has been passed previously. A candidate’s first attempt must
not occur earlier than a his/her fourth year of training. No less than
four of the five years of training must be undertaken in accredited departments
in Australia and New Zealand. The FRANZCR is not awarded until five years
of practical training (in approved training centres) has been completed
satisfactorily.
The Fellowship of the RANZCR (FRANZCR) is the postgraduate qualification
awarded by the RANZCR after appropriate examinations and training, approval
of Council and payment of the subscription.
The Education Board of the RANZCR has direct responsibility for determining
the standards of the examinations and required training for the FRANZCR.
The Board is convened by the Chief Censor in Radiology and comprises one
representative (Branch Education Officer) from each State in Australia
and from New Zealand, as well as one Junior Radiologist representative.
