The Medical Board of Australia has thanked the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) for its transparency and accountability after RACS identified that, between January 2021 and July 2024, it had assessed specialist international medical graduates (SIMGs) against standards that varied from the Board’s requirements.
RACS identified the variation in June 2024 and has since implemented process and policy changes to align SIMG assessments with the Board’s standard.
