This website provides information about CPMEC and its current projects to inform medical educators, students, clinicians and others about developments in prevocational medical education and training matters. The site links to Postgraduate Medical Councils or equivalent as well as other peak bodies and is an invaluable resource for medical graduates and prevocational doctors. It will also have updates on the 2008 round of MTRP funded projects in prevocational training.
The website is made possible by Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing funding. We thank them for their interest in CPMEC and prevocational medical education and training in Australia generally.
CPMEC is pleased to announce that the process for determining winners of the 2010 CPMEC awards is underway. In addition to the annual Junior Doctor of the Year award, a new category has been added to the awards to recognise outstanding clinical educators. There was a strong push for the latter from junior doctors. Each CPMEC member will determine their respective Junior Doctor and Clinical Educator state and territory winners by 30 September 2010 at the latest, with the national winners to be announced by CPMEC at the 15th annual Prevocational Medical Education Forum official dinner on 9 November 2010 in Melbourne. The Geoffrey Marel Medal will also be awarded at that time.
CPMEC has set up three trans-Tasman National Committees to further boost communication between its key stakeholders. The ANZ JMO Chairs Committee (ANZJMOC) comprises Chairs of the Junior Medical Forum (or equivalent) of each member state and territory including NZ. The other two Committees have been set up to bring together Directors of Clinical Training and Medical Education Officers with representation from every CPMEC member. The Chair of each of these Committees will rotate to the member hosting the annual Prevocational Medical Education Forum. This year it is Melbourne and in 2011, New Zealand will be the host.
