Doctors-in-Training
The AMA (ACT) recognises the needs of the doctor in training workforce
and to this end, has a dedicated position on the AMA (ACT) Advisory
Council for a representative of a doctor in training.
Doctors in training are also represented on the AMAs Federal Council, the peak body for the medical profession in Australia.
Position statements affecting doctors in training are available via the link to the Federal AMA's website.
AMA (ACT) encourages all doctors in training to have a GP and will
facilitate this if required. AMA (ACT) has a list of GPs prepared
to care for junior colleagues and should a doctor in training require a
colleague to discuss personal or professional difficulties, the Doctors
Health Advisory Service is available 24/7 - 0407 265 414.
AMA (ACT)'s President is available to meet with doctors in training
over Friday lunch time pizza and the AMA has, and will continue to
provide, interesting speakers for junior doctors on matters of interest
or concern.
The AMA is the voice of the profession - and encourages all doctors in
training to be involved in the future of their profession and
professional organisation.
