CTCA Training Requirements

In order to be recognised as a CTCA Specialist, Cardiologists, Nuclear Medicine Physicians and Radiologists will need to demonstrate that they have completed the requisite training criteria.

Please download the CTCA training requirements which outline what training and experience you need to achieve, and what evidence of this you need to provide, in order to be recognised as a CTCA Specialist.

Please note that grandfathering arrangements will be in operation until 30 November 2010. Details are provided in the training requirements document.

Application Resources

Application Form

To apply, download the Application for Recognition of Training in CTCA. To assist the assessment process, make sure you supply all the evidence requested in the application form.

Logbook

The Conjoint Committee requires specific evidence of your case experience in CTCA. Please review the application form to determine the format in which to provide this evidence.

The Conjoint Committee has established a CTCA logbook template which will assist applicants in recording this information.  Those candidates who are commencing their training and expect to complete their training within the grandfathering period are encouraged to record their cases in this template.

The Application Process

The CTCA application process is designed to assist specialists in achieving recognition of their experience and training.

Your application will be reviewed by the Conjoint Committee secretariat in the first instance to check that it is complete. If necessary, the secretariat will contact you if they require any further information and/ or documentation.

Once complete, an expert panel will assess your application. The panel has one member from each of the three parent bodies (ANZAPNM, CSANZ, RANZCR). If your application is successful, you will be advised of this in writing and your name will be published onto the CTCA website as either a Level A or Level B CTCA Specialist.

If one or more panel members do not approve your application, it passes to the full Conjoint Committee (9 members), who will consider your application. You may then be asked for more information, or to clarify something in your application. In total, there are three rounds of consideration open to applicants, after which you will need to reapply (for a fee of $330 incl. GST).
