Accreditation and Quality Improvement

The Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria (MPBV) has formally delegated the task of intern accreditation to the PMCV Accreditation subcommittee. In addition the Department of Health has authorised the PMCV to survey postgraduate year two posts (PGY2).

The Accreditation subcommittee bases its assessment of intern and PGY2 posts on the following seven functions:

health service environment and culture in relation to intern support
orientation
education program
supervision
feedback and assessement
program evaluation
facilities and amenities

The assessement and accreditation of posts at health services are normally completed on a 3 year cycle.
