The Advanced Training Committee (ATC) in Gastroenterology is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from Gastroenterology fellows to join the Committee as an Appointed Member.

One of the main roles of the ATC in Gastroenterology is to monitor and assess individual trainee progress in Gastroenterology for Australia.

There is currently one Fellow position vacant on the Training Committee in the role of Appointed Member. This is a great opportunity for Fellows who are willing to support current Gastroenterology Advanced Trainees and the training program. In this role, you will help shape the physicians of the future and positively contribute to the direction, workforce and culture of Gastroenterology in Australia.

You will be involved in reviewing and monitoring of the training program requirements, assessment and curricula in consultation with the relevant Specialty Society(ies) and other stakeholders, and recommend changes to the College Education Committee, via the Adult Medicine Division Education Committee/Paediatrics Division Education Committee/Faculty Education Committee.

Other key responsibilities of the Training Committee include but are not limited to:

• monitor training of, and provide support to, supervisors in Gastroenterology;
• accredit Advanced Training sites or programs in Gastroenterology;
• assess recognition of prior learning;
• advise on matters relating to Overseas Trained Physicians, as requested;
• modify individual training requirements, as appropriate, in accordance with College policies and procedures;
• assess and provide advice on specialist recognition in Gastroenterology for Fellows in the Paediatric and Child Health Division or the Adult Medicine Division who have not completed the Gastroenterology Advanced Training program.

For more information regarding the roles and composition of the Training Committee, please refer to the Terms of Reference (PDF).
