The Adult Medicine Division (AMD) is a Division of the RACP that represents and connects Adult Medicine Fellows and trainees in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.

The AMD Council has responsibility for a leadership and supportive role for Fellows of the Division in their continuing professional development and, where appropriate, the Adult Medicine education program for trainees. 

The AMD Council has recently added 2 new roles,  a representative nominated by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Committee (ATSIHC) and a representative nominated by the Māori Health Committee (MHC).

You will assist the AMD President in guiding the governance framework and direction of the Division in a mutually co-operative and consultative atmosphere.  You will be appointed by ATSIHC and then approved by the Board for a 3-year term starting following Board approval. You don't have to be a current member of ATSIHC.
