Summary

Sexual Health Medicine Advanced Trainees are invited to submit an EOI to join the Training Program Committee as an Appointed Member.

Description

The Committee is seeking EOIs from first or second year Sexual Health Medicine Advanced Trainees to join as the Advanced Trainee Representative.

The College recognises that trainees, as future Fellows of the College, have a very important role in the College’s training program. As such, the College involves trainees in all aspects of its complex governance as representatives of their fellow trainees.  

This is a great opportunity if you're willing to share your perspectives from a trainee’s view as you'll assist in communication between the TPC and Advanced Trainees.   

Being an Advanced Trainee (AT) Representative will also allow you to be involved and understand how the training committee make decisions to support individual trainees’ progression throughout the course of their training.   

Key responsibilities 

The roles and responsibilities of the Trainee Representative include, but are not limited to:

  • commitment to regular attendance at meetings of the Committee 
  • providing trainee perspectives to the issues of concern 
  • representing trainees’ interests
  • advocating on behalf of trainees

The Committee typically meets 4 times each year, with 1 face-to-face meeting in Sydney. Members are appointed to the Committee for an initial three-year term which can be renewed once for a further term or until the Advanced Trainee becomes eligible for Fellowship. 

For more information regarding the role and the Committee, please refer to the Terms of Reference (PDF)

Our commitment to inclusivity

The RACP is committed to inclusive and respectful committee environments, and to ensuring its governance structures reflect the breadth of perspectives across its membership and the communities it serves.
When assessing expressions of interest, the College considers skills and experience alongside the perspectives and lived experience applicants may bring. Any information shared is voluntary and will be treated respectfully.

The RACP recognises Māori as tangata whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand, and acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Indigenous peoples of Australia and Pacific peoples as recognised within the Indigenous Strategic Framework.

Consistent with the RACP Constitution and the Indigenous Strategic Framework, and informed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the College is committed to upholding Indigenous leadership, the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, and ensuring cultural safety across committee environments.

This is not positioned as a subset of diversity, but reflects distinct status, leadership, rights, and contribution
