The RANZCP Board has approved a change to membership criteria under which specialist international medical graduate (SIMG) candidates on the Substantial or Partial Comparability Specialist Pathway to Fellowship will automatically become Associate Members of the College. 

 As Associate Members, SIMGs will now gain access to a wide range of professional benefits, including free access to leading psychiatry journals, online learning, Branch and specialist group membership, webinars and podcasts, and exclusive discounts. 

This significant step is part of the College’s broader efforts to foster a more inclusive and supportive experience for all our members and reflects our deep appreciation of the valuable contributions all SIMGs make to our profession and College.
