    Answer: Measuring outcomes

    ACRRM requires all Fellows to meet the full annual CPD requirement regardless of whether they work part-time or full-time.

  3. Which of the following best describes the purpose of ACRRM's Skills and Knowledge Assessment (SKA)?

    Answer: To provide formative feedback on a Fellow's clinical knowledge relative to peers

    The SKA is a formative, peer-benchmarked tool that helps Fellows identify knowledge gaps without contributing to summative assessment.

    Answer: Undertaking ongoing, community-led cultural safety education and supervised practice

    ACRRM emphasises that cultural safety requires ongoing, community-led learning and reflective practice rather than a single tick-box event.

    The curriculum allows registrars to choose advanced skills modules—such as anaesthesia, obstetrics, or emergency medicine—that align with the needs of their planned rural or remote practice.

  7. How does participation in a peer-review or quality improvement activity contribute to ACRRM CPD requirements?

    Answer: It qualifies under the 'Reviewing performance' CPD category
