about subspecialty training
History of the Subspecialties
The subspecialty training programs were introduced by the College
to:
- improve knowledge, practice, teaching and research
- promote the concentration of specialised expertise, special
facilities and clinical material that will be of considerable
benefit to some patients
- improve the recruitment of talented graduates into areas of
recognised subspecialisation
- establish a close understanding and working relationship with
other disciplines
- encourage co-ordinated management of relevant clinical services
throughout a region
- accept a major regional responsibility for higher training,
research and audit in areas of recognised subspecialisation
- establish, as far as possible, consistency in recruitment, training
and assessment across areas of recognised subspecialisation
