We are experts in developing clear and realistic accreditation standards that meet the needs of each profession and its training programs, including programs that incorporate both public and private settings.  

How are your accreditation processes affecting your training program? Are they straightforward and effective or overly burdensome? Are you building on information collected from previous accreditation assessments or starting from scratch each assessment? We can help ensure your organisation is getting the most out of each and every accreditation assessment.  

Accreditation visits should be a welcome and valuable opportunity for support and relationship-building between the organisation and training sites.  Accreditors need mentorship and well-developed communication skills to ensure strong collaborative outcomes.  We can provide specialised accreditor training as well as mediation and training advice for sites that are struggling to meet accreditation standards. 

Good accreditation governance results in timely but appropriate decision making and ensures accreditation outcomes feed straight back into your training program. We can advise on processes and structure for transparent, defensible and effective accreditation governance.

Do you know how the relationships in your college, society or organisation are affecting your strategic outcomes? Staff in member-based organisations are administrative experts who must work in conjunction with subject matter experts.  Striking the perfect balance between 'servant/leader', 'intern/expert' and 'manager/assistant' takes practice and support.  Amplexa has change management experts who can diagnose weaknesses and develop skills across your organisation, including those members in voluntary governance roles.  

Do your members respect their organisation and its functions? Have you conducted an independent evaluation to collect authentic feedback from your  members? We can apply specific strategies across all of your organisation's functions, committees and groups to build a strong and proud relationship between members and their organisation. 

Too easily a culture can develop where staff feel undervalued by, and frustrated with, the members they aim to support.  Alternatively, exclusive working relationships can form between specific members that then create power imbalances and internal factions. We understand these issues and their multifaceted impacts.  An investigation into staff culture can easily highlight areas of possible concern and ways to move forward. 

Your trainees are the future of your membership but they can too often become disengaged from their organisation and undervalue its functions.  Now is the time to work closely with your trainees and better understand their experiences to ensure your organisation gets the respect it deserves, supports its future members and identifies members with a desire to be involved with education.

We can assist with your annual accreditation report, no matter where you are in your accreditation cycle.  With years of experience in AMC report writing, let us take the pressure off your staff and save you weeks of internal resources.  We can work with your team to identify and document progress towards outstanding and incomplete accreditation requirements. 

Already written your report but need some advice before submitting it?  We can quickly and easily edit, assess content, identify gaps and make recommendations for additional data or information.   

Finding specialist expertise in medical training curricula, curriculum implementation, and the real outcomes of assessments can be difficult in Australia.  The Australasian medical education systems are a unique and challenging area of work encompassing multiple stakeholders, jurisdictions and regulatory bodies.  We have a thorough understanding of medical training curricula requirements, the day to day reality of implementation, and the impact on departments, service delivery, supervisors and trainees.  

Medical training assessments and assessment processes require continuous evaluation against international best practice, your profession's standards, and relevant regulatory requirements. Evaluate your assessment methods with a team who understand the impacts of assessment, from the trainee and supervisor perspective, right through to reliability and validity outcomes. 

Accreditation is expensive, time consuming and burdensome.  When done right, it is also incredibly valuable, resource-worthy, insightful and vital for strategic planning and member engagement. Is your accreditation process benefiting every aspect of the business?  If not, we can help.
