Prevocational Outcome Statements

Prevocational Outcome Statements are a component of the old Prevocational Framework so will be familiar to many people working in prevocational medical education. The new Prevocational Framework continues to include Prevocational Outcome Statements, organised within four domains:

  • Domain 1: Practitioner (10 outcomes statements)

  • Domain 2: Professional and leader (8 outcome statements)

  • Domain 3: Health advocate (6 outcome statements)

  • Domain 4: Scientist and scholar (4 outcome statements)

The Prevocational Outcome Statements can be downloaded here.

What are Prevocational Outcome Statements?

Prevocational outcome statements describe the capabilities that prevocational doctors should achieve by the end of their postgraduate PGY1 & PGY2 programs. The level of expectation, responsibility, supervision, and entrustability of the outcomes will be different between the two years, but they must be achieved to an acceptable level to complete PGY1 and achieve general registration.

Prevocational education and training programs must be designed to enable prevocational doctors to achieve the outcomes described in the Prevocational Outcome Statements. The statements are a component of each training term assessment and provide clear criteria for determining progress of prevocational junior doctors.
