Terms

The Postgraduate Medical Education Council of Tasmania (PMCT) is the organisation responsible for undertaking accreditation of the prevocational medical terms in public hospitals and some general practices in Tasmania.

Accreditation ensures that prevocational medical doctors receive high quality education, training, supervision, assessment and support. Prevocational doctors are those who have not yet commenced vocational training with a college (usually doctors in their first two to three years post qualification).

Accredited Terms

The Launceston General Hospital offers a wide range of terms accredited for both Interns (PGY1) and PGY2+/IMGs at PGY2+ level.  These range from the core terms including Emergency Medicine, Surgery and Medicine, to a wide selection of sub-specialty training terms.

The Medical Board of Australia requires all Interns to complete a series of terms in a range of specialties to ensure you have a broad-based introduction to working as a doctor. Each term will include orientation, supervised practice, education, and assessment.

PGY1 must include a minimum of four terms (of at least 10 weeks each term) in different specialties and sub-specialties, with a maximum of 25% in any one sub-specialty and 50% in any specialty. Service terms do not count towards meeting the minimum four terms.

PGY2+/IMGs at PGY2+ doctors are required to complete a minimum of three terms (of 10 to 24 weeks) in different subspecialties, with a maximum of 25% in single subspecialty.  They will be required to gain exposure to three of the four different types of clinical experience.  Term allocations are organised by THS, and are assigned according to the requirements of individuals.  For example those seeking general registration will need to complete different terms to those who are on the Rural Generalist pathway.

Term allocations are published prior to the commencement of the first term of the calendar year, and are updated as needed by the Clinical Management Unit.
