Clinical Radiology Anatomy Examination Review Panel

Picture1

The Anatomy Examination Review Panel (AERP) develops, sets, reviews, and marks the Phase 1 Anatomy written examinations. Joining the panel is a rewarding way to contribute to both your profession and the College.

About the Panel

The Clinical Radiology AERP comprises up to ten members—an equal mix of anatomists and radiologists—with no limit on sub-panel members. The panel’s work is guided by the principles of:

  • Acting in the best interests of patients
  • Supporting high-quality healthcare
  • Upholding the integrity of clinical radiology, RANZCR, and the Faculty of Clinical Radiology

Member Expectations

  • Participate actively in meetings and decision-making
  • Attend at least 50% of meetings each year
  • Join additional workshops or training (e.g. standard setting, blueprinting, question development)
  • Review meeting papers and minutes in advance
  • Attend the annual face-to-face meeting

Ongoing Responsibilities

  • Contribute to exam development, review, marking, and standard setting
  • Provide constructive feedback for continuous improvement
  • Remain informed about developments affecting the panel’s work
  • Support Faculty policy development

Eligibility

We invite Fellows or Life Members (minimum three years post-FRANZCR or equivalent) and Anatomists (minimum three years post-qualification).

If you are passionate about anatomy and experienced in exam preparation or teaching, this role may suit you. You don’t need expertise in the entire syllabus—regular teaching in key areas is sufficient.

Selection Criteria

  • Skilled evaluator and communicator
  • Current clinical experience in relevant curriculum areas
  • Practising sub-specialist/special interest in your field
  • Knowledge of curriculum, learning outcomes, and assessment
  • Interest or expertise in examinations
  • Active involvement in teaching and training of clinical radiologists
  • Active participation in the College CPD program
  • Understanding of the medical, educational, and regulatory context in which RANZCR operates
  • Ability to act with care, diligence, and integrity

“ I have been involved in the Part 2 oral exams for almost 10 years and the Part 1 anatomy exam for about 2 years.
I was quite nervous at first as to whether I was good enough to be an examiner, but the established examiners and College officials were all very helpful and supportive. Now I cannot imagine not being involved! The exams keep me on my toes and help keep me up-to-date with my knowledge better than any other CPD activities. I have also made some wonderful radiology friends from all over Australia and New Zealand. It is also great to give back to the College — if we all volunteer a little bit, the system will keep on going for years to come.

— Dr Sarah Constantine
