Are You Ready for the RANZCR 2022 Training Programs?
from Inside News December 2021
by RANZCR
The Training Programs for Clinical Radiology and Radiation Oncology for all Australian, New Zealand and Singapore trainees launch in February 2022.
Learning Outcomes and Training Program Handbooks
In preparation for the February 2022 launch, the two Faculties have released electronic versions of the Learning Outcomes and Training Program Handbooks. These documents have been compiled as resource guides for College trainees and members involved in new Training Program.
The Learning Outcomes are comprehensive guides to education and training for the specialty, designed to form the basis of the structured learning activities, formative work-based assessments, and assemble content for examinations within the Training Program. The Training Program Handbooks provides information and guidance for trainees, Fellows, and staff in relation to all aspects of the Training Program, from commencement to Fellowship.
Both Faculty Learning Outcomes (draft) and Training Program Handbooks are available under the TAR section of the College website.
Webinar Series: Training and Assessment Reform (TAR)
As we come towards the end of the year, the TAR webinar series for 2021 draws to close. The webinars provided critical information to trainees, Clinical Supervisors, Directors of Training, and Networks about the key changes to the Clinical Radiology and Radiation Oncology Training Programs ahead of the February launch.
More than 800 participants joined the live webinars, with many more viewers accessing the recordings via the webcast library. For those who missed previous webinars, recordings and presentations are available on the TAR webinar page.
The College will continue with its webinar series in 2022 to provide trainees, Clinical Supervisors, Directors of Training, and Networks practical skills and details on completing the assessment tools within the Clinical Radiology and Radiation Oncology Training Programs. Details of the upcoming webinars will be made available on the TAR webinar page.
Training e-Portfolio System
During the months of October and November, the TAR team undertook the mammoth task of migrating data from TIMS into the new e-Portfolio system. The migration was a success, with all trainee information having been migrated across to the new system in preparation for quality checks of the training profile data over the upcoming weeks for the launch in January 2022. For further information on the e-Portfolio System including key features, functionality and how to access, refer to the article on page 19 of the December 2021 edition of Inside News,
Policy Review
The College policies relating the training program are currently being reviewed to align with the new Training Program. Please refer to the TAR webpage on the College website to view the latest updates on training policies.
