An assessment of the candidate’s clinical experience is particularly important. The following guidance should be taken into account:
- Time spent in pursuit of a graduate degree is not considered to be relevant experience;
- The experience should be comprehensive within the specialty
- Residency training within a recognized centre is considered relevant experience;
- A research associate position would not generally provide comprehensive and hence relevant experience;
- Where appropriate, patient related experience could include work with normal volunteers.
