Change in circumstance notifications and requests

The providers of accredited prevocational training programs (PTPs) are responsible for ensuring ongoing compliance with accreditation standards. These are outlined in the National Framework for Prevocational (PGY1 and PGY2) Medical Training. Providers that train prevocational doctors are dynamic and it is acknowledged that changes to training programs can occur regularly.

Where changes are planned and meet the requirements of a formal change in circumstance request, irrespective of the anticipated consequences, approval by the PMAQ Accreditation Committee is required prior to the changes taking effect or to the placement of a prevocational doctor in the relevant program or term following implementation of such changes.

Where changes occur because of external influences and are not planned, it is expected that notification to PMAQ occurs in a timely manner and that consequences for ongoing accreditation are mediated between the training provider and the PMAQ Accreditation Committee.
