NOVEMBER 2023 EMBOLUS A M S A E V E N T S O P P O R T U N I T I E S WELCOME Hello everyone! Welcome to the November 2023 edition of the Embolus. In this month’s edition, we’ll be updating you on AMA membership, advocacy and AMSA opportunities! AMA MEMBERSHIP Congratulations on your graduation from medical school and welcome to the junior doctor community! Finishing medical school is a huge achievement! No doubt you’ve worked extremely hard, made some life-long friends and seen yourself grow in ways you weren’t expecting. As an AMSA member it’s likely that you’ve had memorable experiences while attending events, met colleagues from around the country and are aware of some of the issues facing medical students and doctors in training. From the day you commence your internship until the day you receive a fellowship from a specialist medical college (if that’s the career path you choose) you will be considered a doctor in training (or DiT). Being a DiT is great. There are so many opportunities, work is always interesting, you’ll meet inspiring people and will earn a decent income. There are, however, some challenges facing DiTs. Training bottlenecks exist and entry into certain pathways can be competitive, with many doctors spending a significant amount of time working in the often unsupported service registrar space. General practice trainees don’t have access to the same entitlements and remuneration as hospital-based trainees. Training costs and examination fees are increasing significantly, and the culture of medicine can sometimes still be problematic impacting doctors’ health and wellbeing. These are some of the major priorities the AMA Council of Doctors in Training (AMACDT) is working to address. Even though change can be slow, change is happening and there is momentum for improving the issues above. Over the few years that I have been involved with AMACDT there has been increased buy-in on these issues from governments, colleges and health networks. If these issues are important to you, or you want to have your say on other topics relating to the health system, training or medical workforce; or if you’d like increased opportunities to network with other doctors, you can become a member by joining your state or territory AMA. We’d love to have you as a DiT member.
All the best for your first year as a doctor! Hannah Szewczyk Chair – AMA Council of Doctors in Training *In some states and territories, your AMA membership can be claimed as part of your professional development OTHER JOIN AMSA AS A VOLUNTEER! Many AMSA interest and representative groups are opening callouts to join their subcommittee, for example Vampire Cup. Look at our social media and The Org chart to find more information. We hope to see you volunteering with AMSA next year! THANK YOU FOR READING Thank you for reading this edition of the AMSA Embolus.
