2018 CPMEC Junior Doctor of the Year Award
Since 2008, CPMEC has recognised junior doctors who made significant contributions to prevocational medical education and training. It was agreed that a two-tiered award structure be put in place with jurisdictional winners selected by each Postgraduate Medical Council or equivalent and the overall winner then selected by a small judging panel. The competition for the CPMEC award was as competitive as ever in 2018 with nominations received from all CPMEC members. All state winners and the overall winner were recognised at the 2018 Australian & New Zealand Prevocational Medical Education Forum at the Melbourne Convention Centre. Each Division winner was presented with a medal and the overall winner received a trophy.
The recipient of this award will be a junior doctor with a satisfactory clinical performance who fulfils more than one of the following criteria:
- Made a significant contribution to teaching and learning as a prevocational trainee in their workplace settings (hospital, community placements etc.); and/or
- Evidence of special contributions to education and training such as project work, publications, posters, etc. These may include presentations to the international, national and state conferences; and/or
