Rural Generalist 1 and 2 Accreditation

In Victoria, all Intern training programs and positions must be accredited and all PGY2 programs and positions must be approved by the Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria Inc. (PMCV). 

PMCV is approved as an intern training accreditation authority by the Medical Board of Australia. The Victorian Department of Health and Human Services has authorised PMCV to review postgraduate year two posts (PGY2).

GP Training Accreditation
