Welcome to CPMEC
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 current MTRP projects in prevocational training.
The website is made possible by Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing funding. We thank them for their continuous interest and commitment to CPMEC and prevocational medical education and training in Australia.

Discussion Paper on National Registration & Internship
A discussion paper has been prepared by a Confederation of Postgraduate Medical Education Councils (CPMEC) working party established to investigate the implications of national registration and accreditation for pre-vocational medical training.

It is being circulated to a broad range of interested parties, including medical schools, Commonwealth, State and Territory Departments of Health, State Medical Boards, the Australian Medical Council, the Australian Medical Students Association and medical colleges.
CPMEC welcomes comments on the discussion paper. Written comments can be forwarded to Ms Louise Rice, the Working Party Project Manager at Locked Bag 5022, Gladesville, NSW 1675 or lrice@imet.health.nsw.gov.au. To download a copy of the paper, click here.
