ANZCA Trainee Committee The ANZCA Trainee Committee (TC) is a Committee of Council responsible for considering issues relating to education and training, trainee welfare, working conditions, and other matters affecting the trainee body. The trainee members are elected from every training region of ANZCA, and are supported by high-level College staff and Councillors. The 2009 Trainee Committee held four meetings, including one face-to-face day at ANZCA House. The Trainee Committee represents trainees at the College-level and is a voice for all trainees to raise concerns or give input to the College. It is a central point of contact for the College to obtain trainee opinion and trainee delegates for specific roles, and a further channel of communication from the College to trainees. ANZCA Trainee Committee Elected trainee members: Christopher Wilde (Chair) Jeremy Brammer (Deputy Chair) Kathryn Hagen Meng-Li Lee Ann Ngui / Emelyn Lee Luke Murtagh Hong Jye Neo Kushlani Stevenson Emily Stimson Zain Upton Wat Chun Yin Leo / May Leung Tasmania Queensland New Zealand Malaysia Western Australia South Australia and Northern Territory Singapore Victoria New South Wales Australian Capital Territory Hong Kong Ex-officio members and invited participants: Leona Wilson President New Zealand Lindy Roberts Chair, Education & Training Committee (ETC) Western Australia Amanda Young / Luke Wilson / Michelle Spencer, Chair GASACT Victoria Nathan Kershaw Trainee Representative NZSA New Zealand Mary Lawson Director of Education Gregory Pain Director, Training & Assessments Unit Lauren McCarthy / Ryan Cole Administrative Support Officer, Training & Assessments Unit (Where two names appear, the delegate changed during 2009.) Continued support and collaboration The ANZCA Trainee Committee thanks the College Councillors and staff for continued support during 2009. The committee is pleased at how frequently the College is now asking for trainee input in a wide variety of matters, from committees and subcommittees, to Working Groups and Special Interest Groups, to comments on existing and proposed processes. ANZCA trainees are represented on 12 College Trainee Committees, a further eight College groups, and three external related organisations. In 2009, trainees have been directly involved with: • the development of ANZCA’s new Principles for Assessment. • the new ITA Form and ITA Process, for implementation in 2010. • the new trainee email system, which will be rolled-out in 2010. • collecting independent trainee opinion for Training Accreditation Committee visits to training sites. • the major Curriculum Review project being undertaken by the College. • the Clinical Teacher Development and Distance Education projects. • the Liaison with Industry Working Group. • the Welfare of Anaesthetists Special Interest Group. • raising concerns regarding fee increases and the communication of these to trainees. Tripartite trainee collaboration In the past year, the Training Committee has strengthened links and collaboration with GASACT and the NZSA, sending out a joint covering letter and GASACT Handbook to every registered trainee. There is agreement to formally invite the Federal GASACT Chair and NZSA Trainee Representative to Trainee Committee meetings, on an ongoing, reciprocal basis. The AMA Council of Doctors in Training (AMA CDT) has also strengthened communication with the Trainee Committee. Trainee Committee membership The Trainee Committee will always have a higher membership turnover than other Committees of Council, and work has commenced on a briefing manual and a procedures document for Trainee Committee members to help mitigate this threat. The assistance and support of Lindy Roberts to the committee is to be commended. Christopher Wilde Chair, ANZCA Trainee Committee 24 ANZCA Annual Report 2009 ANZCA Annual Report 2009 25
