Recognition of Prior Learning and Experience (RPLE)

The Recognition of Prior Learning and Experience (RPLE) process enables applicants for the Fellowship Training Program (FTP) to seek advance standing as a result of prior learning and experience.

There are three Domains from the training program that applicants may apply for RPLE:

• Health System Science Domain (HSSD) – This domain relates to the mandatory Masters program that is a requirement for all candidates to complete prior to applying for Fellowship. Further information about applying for credit can be found HERE.
• Research Training Domain (RTD) – Credit may be granted for previous studies in this area. Further information about applying for credit can be found HERE.
• Medical Management Practice Domain (MMPD) – This domain relates to previous senior management experience you have gained that align with the RACMA competencies. Eligible applicants will be interviewed with the outcome being a modified training program subject to the level of RPLE awarded. See below links for information about how to apply for RPLE for MMPD.
