Medical Training Review Panel 19th Report

International Medical Graduate Specialists

The Faculty has a process for the recognition as a specialist in pain medicine for overseas trained specialists and admission to Fellowship by assessment for overseas trained specialists. The FPM overseas trained specialists assessment process commences with application directly to the faculty and proceeds to a paperbased assessment to establish qualifications, training, clinical experience, recency of practice, health systems worked in, and participation in continuing professional development (CPD).

If eligible to proceed, the assessment then includes:

• 
  a face-to-face assessment interview;
  
• 
  a clinical practice assessment period; and
  
• 
  either a workplace-based assessment or the examination.
