Call for EOI- ACPSEM DIMP CTG Working Group

ACPSEM is seeking those with in-depth knowledge of the DIMP Clinical Training Guide (CTG) to work on is revision and update.

ACPSEM is seeking to make multiple short-term appointments for up to six months in duration of suitably qualified Diagnostic Imaging Medical Physicists (both Radiology and Nuclear Medicine) to form an expert working group to:

• Provide detailed review of the current CTG content- competencies, current learning outcomes and recommended elements of training, and
• Develop any new content, as advised by the Reference Group.

The overall aim of the project is to update and improve the CTG, ensuring that the training program is current, descriptive enough to allow registrars and supervisors optimal learning and assessment opportunities, responsive to changes in industry and technology, and is standardised sufficiently to ensure quality evaluation outcomes. This project will be done in collaboration with Amplexa Consulting. Applicants should note that this review will focus on update, alignment, and curriculum mapping rather than an extensive overhaul of content (the most recent content review was conducted in 2016).

• Project initiation October 2021
• October 2021- Initial meetings for the working group assigned to review the CTG
