Queensland Health, through the Office of the Principal Medical Officer (OPMO) is responsible for and oversees the Queensland Basic Physician Training Pathway (the Pathway). Registered basic physician trainees who are able to commence their second year of basic training are selected to the Pathway and allocated to a cluster of Queensland Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) accredited Pathway hospitals (known as Rotations) to complete their basic training.
The two year Pathway is designed to best support trainees undertaking their second and third years of basic physician training. The Pathway endeavors to provide trainees with 12 months of RACP-accredited level 3 hospital placements in the lead up to the written and clinical Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (FRACP) examinations.
To become a Physician and Fellow of the RACP in Adult Internal Medicine, trainees need to both register with the College to join the Physician Readiness for Expert Practice (PREP) basic training program and be appointed to a hospital accredited for basic physician training.
