Dr Rhiannon Mellor

I am a current medical oncology trainee in Australia, and I know the importance of excellent training. For this reason I joined the RACP Medical Oncology Advanced Training Committee as their trainee representative in 2021. In this role I have facilitated communication between trainees and the college, and I have gained insight into the Medical Oncology training program, both from the perspective of the ATC and of the trainee. I have experience representing trainees in this context, and know the importance of trainees having a voice. I organised the teaching program for my own training network in 2021, using the curriculum as a framework for topics to be covered. However, given the speed at which medical oncology is changing, I agree that the curriculum needs to be reviewed and I would like to be part of that process.
