Status Report
The Status Report, combined with the Points Sheet, is the main device for monitoring a trainee's progress throughout the program. It also assists the trainee to plan their training and is used to provide formative feedback to the trainee from the Mentor and Director of Training (formally known as the Censor). The report also provides confirmation of the trainee's status as Active or Inactive.
The six monthly training periods are:
- 1 January - 30 June (to be submitted by 31 July)
- 1 July - 31 December (to be submitted by 31 January)
The trainee is responsible for ensuring that the Mentor and Director of Training sign the report form, and that this is submitted to the Faculty office by the due date. There should be no exemption from this unless in exceptional circumstances.
Sanctions for failure to submit a report
Failure to lodge a report by the due date will result in the Trainee being considered inactive, and therefore unable to sit either the written or practical examination, or present at Ramazzini.
Failure to submit two consecutive Status Reports will result in the trainee being removed from the training program. Trainees so removed, who wish to re-apply to join the training program, will be assessed on a case by case basis by the Teaching and Learning Committee.
Points Sheet
This system is intended to encourage trainees to engage in a wide range of education and training activities, outside the trainee review meetings, and attendance at which is not an absolute requirement of the training program.
A trainee must be able to record a minimum of 50 points each 6 months while actively participating in the training program, averaging 100 points annually until they have successfully completed all course components.
Trainees in part-time positions are required to accumulate points at the same rate as full-time trainees, there is no pro rata allocation of points.
Trainees are required to have the Points Summary Sheet, and supporting documentation, checked and signed off by the Mentor at each six monthly review.
