Entry requirements for the Geriatric Medicine training program include
a) completion of the Basic Physician Training of RACP
b) current medical registration
c) appointment to an accredited training position

Advanced Training in Geriatric Medicine requires 36 months of full-time equivalent training. Once all requirements are satisfied the trainee may apply for Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. https://www.racp.edu.au/ VGMTP does not award certification on completion of training. This is the role of RACP.
VGMTP follows the Advanced Training curriculum of RACP and also coordinates the centralised match for Advanced Training positions. Appointments to training positions is done by the accredited health services, not by VGMTP.
VGMTP is an initiative of the Australian and New Zealand Society for Geriatric Medicine (ANZSGM), the peak professional society for geriatricians and other medical practitioners with an interest in the medical care of older people.
