What is the meaning of Tier 1, 2 and 3
“Tier” is a term refers to some of
criteria of qualifications for postgraduate education for medical/dental
doctors/ Physicians. The determination of these categories is based on the level and presence of academic
structure and competency based evaluation during qualifying degree. It is
important to note that Tier 1 and Tier 2 qualifications lead to consultant licensure (with the
only difference being in the number of required years of experience post
certification). Tier 3 qualifications lead to specialist licensure, consultant
licensure cannot be attained through Tier 3 qualifications. Final licensure
granted (e.g. Consultant, Specialist) connotes the acquisition of equivocal
standards of medical competence, duties, and rights for all health
professionals within that title irrespective ofwhich tier level was used to grant the license!
(I.e. Consultant status granted through Tier 2 qualifications is considered
equal to consultant status granted through Tier 1 qualifications. Similarly,
specialist status granted through tier 1, 2 or 3 are all equal).
