AFRM Trainee Committee

The Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine (AFRM) Trainee Committee represents the interest of AFRM trainees and provides a forum for AFRM trainees to express their views and work with the College Trainees’ Committee and the AFRM Regional Committees.

We advocate on behalf of AFRM trainees regarding selection, training, assessment, supervision and overall educational experience. The Committee can make policy recommendations and recommend new initiatives to the AFRM Faculty to support Trainees and enhance their training experience.
