Queensland Basic Physician Training Pathway

Queensland Health is responsible for and oversees the Queensland Basic Physician Training Pathway (the Pathway) through which registered basic physician trainees who are able to commence their second year of basic training are recruited, selected and allocated to Queensland RACP-accredited hospitals within one of four Rotations to complete their basic physician training.

To become a Physician and Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) in Adult Internal Medicine, you need to both register with the RACP to join the Physician Readiness for Expert Practice (PREP) Basic Training Program and be appointed to a hospital accredited by the RACP for basic physician training.

The Queensland Health RMO Campaign Specialist Training Pathway application process opens 21 May and closes 4 June 2012. All Basic Physician Training Pathway applications must be submitted during this time via the RMO Campaign website at http://www.health.qld.gov.au/rmo/


Outside of the annual recruitment dates a late application or an Expression of Interest  for a Medical Registrar position can be submitted via http://www.health.qld.gov.au/rmo/apply_now.asp. Please note that EOIs will be treated as late applications.

Pathway Education

One of the key aims of the Pathway is to introduce a coordinated approach to basic physician training within Queensland Health and to ensure equity of access to training and education across the State. QMET is working closely with the Queensland State Office of the RACP to improve access to educational resources for all trainees statewide by distributing existing educational resources/activities and developing and disseminating new educational initiatives.

To assist in this process QMET and the RACP Qld State Office have formed a conjoint physician education committee to provide a collaborative approach to the provision of education to basic physician trainees in Queensland.

Further information about Pathway education initiatives are provided in the Pathway education and training flyer (PDF, 126kb) and the clinical examination preparation program (PDF, 239kb).

For further information about the Queensland Basic Physician Training Pathway, contact the Physician Training Pathways Office on email Physician_Training@health.qld.gov.au.
