Meet the College Trainees’ Committee Executive

Dr Kristof Wing
Chair & Tasmanian representative

I am a Basic Trainee in nipaluna/Hobart and am Chair of the College Trainees’ Committee. I am also Co-Chair of the Victorian-Tasmania Trainees’ Committee and am a member of several key bodies of the College, where I strive to advocate strongly for the interests of trainees. Education is at the core of the College’s identity and with Trainees making up almost one-third of the membership of the College we are well-placed to initiate and shape changes in the College.

I have a particular interest in seeing improvements in work and training culture, the responsiveness of the College to trainee requests, and material improvements in member wellbeing throughout training and fellowship. I intend to complete training in Infectious Diseases and General Medicine, and to combine my love of immunogenomics, health system reform, and the red earth country to improve the health status of First Nations people in Australia, Aotearoa, and the Pacific. If at any time you think the CTC or I might be able help you, please do contact us.
