Refresher and remediation programs
Specialist Refresher Program
The RANZCP offers the Specialist Refresher Program to Fellows or Affiliates who have taken an extended break from active clinical psychiatric practice (e.g. for reasons of illness, family commitments, or working in another field).
Generally, it is aimed at members who have taken a break of at least 3 years, although members who have taken a shorter break can participate also. The program is designed to return a member's knowledge and skills to a level where they can operate safely and confidently in their practice.
