Summary
This article describes specialty practice areas that are used in ANZCAP to indicate areas of specialty for a recognition at Registrar and Consultant levels. Up to two specialties can be used per recognition.
Specialties and Post-nominals explained
Once ANZCAP Recognitions are completed and validated, members can share links to their recognition, print and share certificates, share recognition badges and use post-nominals to indicate their achievement within the continuum of practice.
