Trainee Progression
Trainee Progression Requirements
Trainees commencing in the training program will be mailed a Learning Portfolio.
The Learning 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 radiation oncologist have been acquired.
The training program is structured in two major phases. The two-phase structure is designed to aid the organisation of learning through the course.
• Phase 1 extends from the trainee’s commencement in training through to approximately 18 to 24 months into the program.
• Phase 2 extends over the remainder of the program, from the satisfactory completion of Phase 1 through to a minimum of five years from program entry.
The exact length of each phase is determined by trainee progress and achievement of certain milestones, not a pre-determined time period. Within Phase 1, there is a Foundation period (approximately the first six months after entry) during which essential background knowledge is acquired.
Progression through the program occurs by the achievement of regular satisfactory assessments by Clinical Supervisors (all radiation oncologists who work directly with trainees) and Directors of Training.
