.About the RANZCP psychiatry training rogram

The RANZCP has recently implemented a new program for psychiatry training. Between 2012 and 2015, the 2012 Fellowship Program was rolled out, replacing the previous 2003 Fellowship Program. 

Most information on this website relates to the 2012 Fellowship Program.

Which program am I training under?

Trainees and specialist international medical graduates (SIMGs): All current trainees and SIMGs are enrolled in the 2012 Fellowship Program. 

Fellows completing a Certificate of Advanced Training: Most Fellows in training are enrolled in the 2012 Certificates of Advanced Training. However, depending on their expected completion date, a small number are still enrolled in the 2003 Certificates of Advanced Training.
