The Clinical Radiology Training Program is designed as a five-year training program and structured in three major phases. All trainees who were enrolled in the training program prior to 2022 have been transitioned to a phase of training in the Clinical Radiology Training Program. Transition information and scenarios have been developed that aim to minimise disruption and disadvantage for trainees.
