Frequently asked questions

We've listed the most common questions from our 10+ years helping Doctors.

This FAQ is focused on this course content only. 

Can I do a Specialist assessment only?

YES. This path is most suitable for those:
  • wanting College feedback on their comparability to an Australian trained specialist
  • those whose Due Diligence shows they would NOT be suited to an Area of Need role
  • who know their College will require upskilling in a Public Health facility
  • want to explore Public Health roles 

Can I do an Area of Need assessment only without a Specialist assessment? 

NO.

However, many Colleges enable a dual Specialist and Area of Need assessment. 

Can I do an Area of Need assessment at a future time to a Specialist assessment?

GENERALLY YES.

The definite answer will depend on the outcome of your Specialist Assessment. 

What is the difference between Specialist, Area of Need and Post-Graduate Training?

GOOD QUESTION!
Specialist assessment is to determine your "comparability" to that of an Australian trained specialist. The assessors focus on:
  • content of your training
  • duration of training
  • supervised practice during training
  • the timing and nature of examinations
Area of Need assessment is to determine your "suitability" for a role in a practice. The assessors focus on:
  • your skill set
  • the skill of the practice
  • and compare both
BOTH of the above are via ZOOM or TEAMS with the assessors.

Post-Graduate training or Supervised practice determines your suitability for a training role under supervised practice. The assessors focus on:
  • your level of training
  • whether you have completed specialist qualifications
  • the training regime of the Australian practice
  • patient safety and supervision

    This is a PAPER BASED assessment. It is approved for one year. It can be extended to two years by application and approval.
