TE23 – Guidelines for the Selection

Colin King, Dr Angela Palumbo, Dr Peter
Roessler and Dr Jeneen Thatcher.
TE Professional Documents: A
training and educational document
development group to revise the training
and educational professional documents
as a result of the introduction of the
redesigned ANZCA curriculum will
comprise: Dr Lindy Roberts (Chair),
Dr Genevieve Goulding, Dr Mark
Reeves, Dr Suzanne Bertrand, a trainee
committee representative (TBA), a head
of department (TBA), the DPA Assessor
and the DPA Professional Documents.
An interim report will be provided at the
October 2011 Council meeting, with the
final report to the February 2012 Council
meeting.
TE17 – Policy on Advisors of
Candidates for Anaesthesia Training:
Professional document TE17 was
withdrawn as, since the accreditation of
departments rather than posts, the role
of advisor of candidates for anaesthesia
training is obsolete.
CPD Committee and mandatory
compliance: Council supported
the amendment of regulation 2.9 to
increase the Continuing Professional
Development (CPD) Committee
membership to include the chair of FAC
and up to four additional members.
Council approved a CPD mandatory
compliance policy as follows: any
registered medical practitioner
anywhere in the world may now
participate in the ANZCA CPD program
and, if they fulfil the requirements of
the program, they will be issued with
an ANZCA CPD certificate. If a Fellow of
the College chooses not to undertake the
ANZCA program, they will not be issued
with a certificate and it will become
their responsibility to demonstrate to
the Medical Board of Australia (MBA)
or the Medical Council of New Zealand
(MCNZ) that they have participated in
CPD that meets the required standard.
Date of next meeting:
Saturday June 18, 2011
