Overseas Trained Specialists
Applications for the assessment of international specialist psychiatry qualifications to determine equivalence for fellowship are submitted directly to the RANZCP. The applicant, or the employer, employment agency or medical board on behalf of the applicant, provides standard documentation and payment of a standard assessment fee, as part of the AMC approved process. Local panels of trained, College approved, assessors review the documentation provided and the applicant attends a clarification interview.
The Committee for Specialist International Medical Graduate Education considered the recommendations of the local assessment panels and bases all determinations on standard categories within the RANZCP Equivalence Guidelines. Applicants may be required to undertake further clinical training in psychiatry and/or complete all or part of the college examinations.
