The training program of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) is being assessed by the Australian Medical Council (AMC). The AMA has prepared a submission to the AMC regarding the program, which incorporates significant trainee input.

Some of the issues raised by trainees include concerns about the training and information provided to supervisors and examiners, the examination process, and the availability of remediation for trainees in difficulty.

The AMA submission also takes up trainee concerns at the recent increase in College fees, and the transparency of those fees. The AMA submission suggests that the College should have done more to explain the recent 15% increase in the College administration fee and that it warrants further investigation.

The AMA submission is attached below.
