Doctors in Training Chair update

Doctors in Training Chair update

28 Nov 2024

AMA Council of Doctors in Training had its final meeting (and first face-to-face meeting) of the year on 16-17 November. The meeting was action packed with multiple presentations from key stakeholders.

Presentations included: 

  • National Leadership Alliance Action Plan 
  • National speciality medical college site accreditation standards 
  • Medical Workforce discussion with Department of Health and Aged Care 
  • Low-quality college mandated research projects and how to change this 
  • AMC review of speciality medical college accreditation standards. 

 We also had a joint session with the AMA Equity, Inclusion and Diversity committee. We discussed opportunities for collaboration as well as the AMA Reconciliation Action Plan and LGBTQIASB+ initiatives. 

Finally, we completed work on a draft After-Hours Care position statement, which has been led by Dr Elise Witter, our deputy co-chair, and discussed how to get a new National Mental Health Survey for Doctors and Medical Students off the ground. 

AMA CDT is always keen to engage with our members and I can be reached at cdt.chair@ama.com.au
