This booklet brings together essential information on postgraduate and vocational training options. We know that your choice of career within medicine is important, with many paths to explore during your postgraduate career - helping you to establish your long term goals and set your direction for the future. WAyfinding aims to assist students, early postgraduates and practitioners who are considering a career change. The landscape of medical employment is changing rapidly and we are now seeing a competitive jobs market for junior doctors in Australia. Training during the intern year is regulated by the Medical Board of Australia to ensure that you master the competencies expected of a junior doctor. Thereafter, you will be able to explore a broad range of general and specialised rotations as you progress along your career pathway. As a junior doctor it is important to be well prepared for future employment and training so that you can make the most of opportunities that will arise. Understanding the composition of the senior medical workforce and in particular, areas of medicine that may face impending shortfalls can give you the edge. The Careers Expo will provide you with the opportunity to speak directly with colleagues in most disciplines, to hear presentations on broad career options and how to plan your career around lifestyle. We suggest that you take this opportunity to seek expert advice on career direction and possible training pathways. I wish you every success with your medical career. Prof. Richard Tarala B.Sc.

Australian Curriculum Framework: http://www.cpmec.org.au/page/acfjd-project 5 The Australian Medical Association of Western Australia Introduction The Australian Medical Association of Western Australia (WA) is the largest independent professional organisation for medical practitioners and medical students in the State, representing all doctors across the public and private sectors. AMA (WA)’s key aim is to promote and protect the interests of the medical profession in Western Australia. The Association achieves this through our constant contact and dialogue with state and federal governments, and our close relationships with hospital services, healthcare providers, Medicare and private health insurers, academia and numerous royal colleges. The AMA (WA)’s highly professional secretariat specialises in providing members with advice and support across a range of issues including workplace relations, legislative and regulatory, and business advice and training tailored to the medical profession. AMA (WA) has advocated and represented the interests of its members with great success: . In late 2016 the AMA (WA) delivered a new industrial agreement for Public Sector Practitioners with significant improvements in conditions and job security. The 2017 Interns were the first cohort of junior doctors to be appointed on three-year contracts pursuant to the agreement reached in the 2016 bargaining round. AMA (WA) successfully negotiated a new enterprise agreement to apply to practitioners employed by the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. A new enterprise agreement was also successfully negotiated with the Royal Flying Doctor Service. AMA (WA) was successful in ensuring back-pay relative to sleep-shift claims . AMA (WA) saw the first agreement put in place with St John of God Health Care medical practitioners reflecting public sector conditions. AMA (WA) achieved success after strongly advocating for more than 12 months with PMH Executive in response to concerns of practitioners at PMH over lack of access to leave, poor staff engagement and poor medical staff morale. Medical Careers WAyfinding Along with the Advocacy and Industrial Support AMA (WA) offers members: . Member only seminars, workshops and events . Member only publications and communications . Commercial benefits . Access to AMA (WA) Committees; Doctors in Training (DiT) Committee, COGP (Council of General Practice), IHLC (Inter Hospital Liaison Committee) Useful Links: .

Intern Guide: www.amawa.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/AMA-Intern- Guide-2018.pdf 7 Medical Careers WAyfinding 9 Message from the Chief Medical Officer The career path that each of us follows owes as much to serendipity as it does to planning. We are all influenced by key individuals into whose path we stumble at formative times in our training. Who we like; who likes us; where we feel liked, wanted and useful. So, it is absolutely OK to not know what you want to do right now and to simply accumulate clinical experience and new skills while awaiting greater clarity or that unexpected opportunity. Of course, that shouldn’t stop you considering carefully the career that might be the right one for you, and taking the appropriate steps to secure that career. If your thoughts are already reasonably well settled, you need to establish which specific terms are absolute prerequisites - and which extra-curricular courses are desirable - for entry into the particular Specialist training programme that interests you. Whichever way your pathway unfolds, your best chance of career progression is always to work hard in every job you do and to get on with people wherever you work. There is simply no substitute for being a decent, caring,

  • The Royal College Program Directors Handbook: a Practical Guide for Leading an Exceptional Program Preface
    The Royal College program directors handbook: A practical guide for leading an exceptional program Preface Consider the following tale, which will be familiar to many new program directors (PDs) in Canada: When I became a PD in 2000, I thought I knew what I was getting into. I was expecting a rewarding, challenging leadership position in education that would allow me to set a direction and provide support for a future generation of doctors. It turned out to be all of this and more; I’m thankful that the rewards far exceeded my expectations and the challenges were mitigated by a strong support network and resident cohort. But I admit that my initial experiences in the job were largely a trial by fire. I had a brief handover from my predecessor and was given a new book on the “newest thing” in residency education — CanMEDS 2000 — but other than that I was set adrift to run the residency program and seek help when needed. One resource that proved very helpful was the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s annual workshop for new PDs and accreditation surveyors. I was assigned to the surveyor workshop by mistake; it turned out to be very useful, as our accreditation visit was scheduled to take place in 8 short months’ time, and I had still received no instruction on the nuts and bolts of running a program. PDs come to their positions in a variety of ways. way from peers, support staff and residents. Our own Some PDs seek out the role; others are invited to take experiences, then, prompted our desire to help others the job and either embrace the opportunity or accept prepare for their PD roles.

    Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs in Ophthalmology (338A) - published July 2020 Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs in Ophthalmology The Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs in Ophthalmology are a national set of standards maintained by the Royal College for the evaluation and accreditation of Ophthalmology residency programs. The standards aim to ensure the quality of residency education provided across Canada, and ensure Ophthalmology residency programs adequately prepare residents to meet the health care needs of their patient population(s), during and upon completion of training. The standards include expectations specific to the discipline, as well as the expectations set out in the General Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs, which are applicable to all residency programs. In instances where the indicators reflected in the General Standards of Accreditation for Residency Programs have been modified within this document to reflect a discipline-specific expectation, the indicator as reflected in this document takes precedence. The standards are intended to be read in conjunction with the national discipline-specific documents for Ophthalmology. 1 © 2020 The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.

  • The Odontological Collection at the Royal College of Surgeons of England: a Short Review
    Farrell R E V I E W The odontological collection at the Royal College of Surgeons of England: a short review • Milly Farrell • Royal College of Surgeons of England Address for correspondence: Milly Farrell Museums Department The Royal College of Surgeons of England 35-43 Lincoln’s Inn Fields London, WC2A 3PE E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Bull Int Assoc Paleodont. 2010;4(1):22-26. Abstract This short article will present an overview of the contents of the Odontological Collection based at The Royal College of Surgeons of England, London. This dentally relevant research source has been accrued over the past two centuries and contains both human and animal cranial material that place a focus on the development of the teeth and jaws. Currently used by a range of researchers in a variety of fields, it is hoped that this brief review will encourage those with a palaeodontological interest to consider the Odontological Collection in data collection or for more general dental investigation. Keywords: Odontological Collection; Dental Research; Maxillofacial Development and Pathology The Royal College of Surgeons of England holds several historical and medical collections and contains two museums; the Hunterian Museum and the Wellcome Museum of Anatomy and Pathology. The Odontological Collection forms part of this vast scope of material, containing just over 11,000 skulls and teeth. Two themes are covered by the collection; specimens displaying variations in pathology of the teeth and jaws, and material showing dental development and growth. Two thirds of the collection is animal and one third is human.
