In practice, the majority need to have a manuscript \u2018accepted to peer review\u2019 by one of five specified radiation oncology (RO<\/jats:styled-content>) journals before being eligible to sit for the final examination. The purpose of this work was to determine the corresponding trainee research requirements of the other Australasian medical colleges and compare them with FRO<\/jats:styled-content> as a companion to a planned FRO<\/jats:styled-content> trainee survey on the same topic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA<\/jats:styled-content>) website lists 16 colleges conferring medical fellowships, four of which have various sub\u2010faculties, and the New Zealand Medical Council website lists three other separate colleges (69 entities in all). Their individual websites were interrogated to determine and tabulate their respective trainee research requirements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>7\/69 entities (10%) do not include a research component in their published training programme. Four (5.8%) mandate actual publication of a manuscript (and additionally, FRO<\/jats:styled-content> does also require this for journals other than the five specified). The other training programmes have less rigorous submission requirements, for example internal assessment of a research report. In addition, many allow attainment of a research higher degree (including FRO<\/jats:styled-content>) or multiple other options as an alternative pathway. Eleven entities (including FRO<\/jats:styled-content>) stipulate that their requirement needs to be satisfied before sitting for the exit examination.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>The current FRO<\/jats:styled-content> trainee research requirement is at the more stringent end of the Australasian spectrum. This has advantages and disadvantages for RO<\/jats:styled-content> trainees and their departments. The data presented here and the trainee survey will inform the RANZCR<\/jats:styled-content> Training and Assessment Review project, ongoing at the time of writing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1754-9485.12930","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,1]],"date-time":"2019-08-01T09:49:11Z","timestamp":1564652951000},"page":"862-868","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Trainee research requirements of Australasian medical colleges: How does the Faculty of Radiation Oncology compare?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8772-6266","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel E","family":"Roos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiation Oncology Department Royal Adelaide Hospital Adelaide South Australia Australia"},{"name":"School of Medicine University of Adelaide Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth F","family":"Foley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiation Oncology Department Royal Adelaide Hospital Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tim J","family":"Wonders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthetics and Perioperative Medicine Department Southern Adelaide Health Service Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists: Our Work.
