AANMS Training Setting Accreditation Program.

Specialist medical colleges are required to maintain clear, transparent processes and criteria for assessing, accrediting and monitoring training settings. RACP is required to ensure that any hospital, health service or setting delivering RACP physician training meets the standards necessary to provide safe, high‑quality, workplace‑based education.

The RACP Advanced Training in Nuclear Medicine program is overseen by the RACP Training Program Committee (TPC), which is responsible for ensuring the program is delivered in accordance with these accreditation standards and educational requirements.

RACP TPC has engaged the Australasian Association of Nuclear Medical Specialists (AANMS) to manage and conduct the Training Setting Accreditation Program (TSAP) for the Advanced Training in Nuclear Medicine program.
