In this two part episode, RANZCP Appointed Trainee Board Director Ava Carter and Australasian Psychiatry Trainee Associate Editors Ahnoor Benipal and Fiona Wilkes discuss things they wish they’d known earlier in psychiatry training, and other useful information for new trainees. This was recorded in late 2024 when Ava, Ahnoor and Fiona were reaching the end of their advanced training in consultation liaison psychiatry (Ava) and psychiatry of old age (Ahnoor and Fiona). They discuss training program basics, specifics of the various stages, and advice for exams and other assessment. Part 2 discusses the later stages of training and tackling assessments. It does not discuss EPAs, as these will be covered in a later podcast.

This episode of The Thought Broadcast explores the recent overhaul of the RANZCP’s suite of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), a core part of its competency-based Fellowship training program since 2012. Updated in line with contemporary medical education best practices, the revised EPA framework streamlines the number of EPA types, improves alignment to the training curriculum, and reformats into a longitudinal assessment model with stepped levels of entrustment. This episode offers a concise overview of these changes to inform trainees and supervisors alike. Dr Anthony Llewellyn, the RANZCP’s Medical Education Specialist and key architect of the revamped EPA system, was interviewed on 28th February 2025 by Drs Edward Miller, Fiona Wilkes, and Michael Weightman.
