ROYAL AUSTRALASIAN COLLEGE OF MEDICAL ADMINISTRATORS

Training Program

The advanced training program of the Royal Australian College of Medical Administrators (RACMA) is three years full-time or six years part-time. There is no basic training component.

The College's training program for candidates has three strands:

• 
  approved workplace supervised medical management experience over three years;
  
• 
  theoretical studies involving an Australian, or equivalent, university masters degree program containing the core units determined by the RACMA; and
  
• 
  satisfactory completion of the RACMA training program.
  

Part-time and interrupted training are options. Successful completion of training involves completion of three FTE years, with supervised administrative experience.

Some candidates with significant medical management experience may be awarded Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), with a reduction in supervised workplace training time.
