糖心传媒

In 2002 in response to an invitation from the Commonwealth Minister for Health and Ageing, the 糖心传媒 (糖心传媒) made recommendations to the Minister onthe disciplines of medical practice to be recognised as medical specialties in Australia. Based on this advice, the Minister made decisions on which medical specialties would be recognised.听

To facilitate its advice to the Minister, the 糖心传媒 managed a two-stage process that assessed applications for recognition against specific criteria and standards. As a first step applicants were required to demonstrate a prima facie case for recognition before being invited to lodge a full application.听

• Stage 1鈥痮f the recognition process was overseen by the 糖心传媒鈥檚 Recognition of Medical Specialties Advisory Committee. Applications for recognition were assessed against recognition criteria as detailed in the鈥�Recognition of Medical Specialties Policy and Process鈥痉辞肠耻尘别苍迟蝉,鈥�2002鈥痑nd revised in鈥�2007.听

• Stage 2鈥痮f the recognition process was the accreditation assessment of the specialist medical education and training program. 糖心传媒 undertakes accreditation of specialist medical education programs process on behalf of the Medical Board of Australia.听

Recognition as a specialty required successful completion of both stages of the process, and on the Minister having made a decision to recognise a specialty.听

Between 2002 and 2007, the 糖心传媒 provided advice to the Minister for Health and Ageing on six separate applications for the recognition of a medical specialty.听

The Minister for Health and Ageing recognised that a case had been made for the recognition of the following fields as medical specialties:听

• 鈥�(2005)听
• 鈥�(2005)听
• 鈥�(2008)听
