Training sites provide an orientation at the commencement of a training year and when a trainee commences at a new accredited training site. The orientation should address:

• Introduction: to staff, particularly key staff members; so that the phase of training and the responsibility of the trainee is known by all
• The role and relationships between trainees, CSs, other members of the healthcare team, DoT and managers within the training site and training network (where applicable)
• The department layout and equipment
• Arrangements and organisation of the dedicated onsite protected teaching
• Training on any systems in use (i.e. PACS)
• Case-mix description / models of care / work practices
• Indigenous health processes and resources
• Training on all processes pertaining to receiving referrals, undertaking procedures, report writing, rostering, after hours and on call work and OH&S procedures
• The administrative arrangements and organisational structures within the training site
• Trainee management (supervision, training and teaching processes)
• Awareness of the location of all resources available including policies and procedures related to discrimination, bullying, harassment, and cultural safety

Trainees should meet with their DoT within the first two weeks of starting a new rotation.

The RANZCR Faculty of Clinical Radiology (FCR) is the peak body for the profession of clinical radiology in Australia and New Zealand. The Faculty has a number of committees that develop policy and support decision making across the Faculty.

Faculty of Clinical Radiology Committee Structure

A key committee under Faculty Council is the Clinical Radiology Education and Training Committee (CRETC). CRETC is responsible for the training, education and examination conduct and structures. It is the primary decision making body regarding trainee matters and its membership is made up of College fellows and chaired by the Chief Censor.

One way that you can get involved in the College is through the Clinical Radiology Trainee Committee (CRTC) which represents trainees, and provides a link between trainees and other committees. Through membership of ROTC you can represent your fellow trainees on the below College committees.
