Accreditation Program
The aim of pre-vocational training is to further the professional and personal development of medical graduates in their early postgraduate years. The accreditation program sets out to establish and monitor standards for pre-vocational medical positions with the emphasis on the first two postgraduate years, and to assist in the attainment of a universally high standard of general clinical training.
Accreditation helps to ensure that health services employing pre-vocational doctors offer sufficient experience, education, training, supervision, assessment, evaluation, support (including resources) and a safe working environment to enable pre-vocational doctors to meet the objectives of their training program.
Through the process of accreditation, hospitals and other training organisations which employ pre-vocational doctors, are formally evaluated by a survey team using clearly defined and established standards. These standards are outlined in the Guide to Accreditation Standards.
The Western Australian Department of Health requires that all pre-vocational posts are assessed and accredited by the Accreditation and Standards Committee of the Postgraduate Medical Council. The current accreditation status of Western Australian hospitals is provided.We welcome your feedback on this site and your comments on how it can be improved.
