Which ACRRM training pathway is designed for doctors who are already working in rural and remote Australia and want to train while employed?
Answer: Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS)
The Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) allows rural doctors to complete FACRRM training while remaining in their rural or remote practice.
What is the standard training duration for the ACRRM Fellowship program?
Answer: 4 years minimum
The FACRRM program requires a minimum of 4 years of training, encompassing core generalist and advanced specialised components.
For FACRRM eligibility, what does the Modified Monash Model (MMM) classification primarily determine?
Answer: Whether a training post qualifies as rural or remote for ACRRM purposes
The MMM classification system categorizes geographic locations, determining whether a post counts as rural or remote for ACRRM training eligibility.
A doctor wishes to count their time in an MMM 1 (metropolitan) location toward FACRRM rural training requirements. Is this permitted?
Answer: No, MMM 1 locations are metropolitan and do not count toward rural training requirements
MMM 1 locations are classified as major cities and do not satisfy ACRRM's rural and remote training location requirements.
What is the minimum amount of Advanced Specialised Training (AST) required for FACRRM eligibility?
Answer: 12 months
FACRRM candidates must complete a minimum of 12 months of Advanced Specialised Training in a discipline relevant to rural and remote medicine.
Which of the following best describes the Core Generalist Training (CGT) component of FACRRM?
Answer: It covers broad clinical competencies required for rural generalist practice across multiple settings
CGT forms the foundation of FACRRM training, encompassing a broad range of clinical skills and competencies needed for rural generalist practice.
Can a candidate apply for FACRRM while simultaneously enrolled in another specialist college training program?
Answer: Generally no, as ACRRM requires candidates to be primarily enrolled in the ACRRM program
ACRRM generally requires that candidates are primarily enrolled in the ACRRM program, as dual enrollment in specialist colleges can create conflicts with training requirements.
