Queensland Adult Medicine Basic Training Orientation for new trainees in 2027

---

Are you starting Basic Training in Adult Medicine in 2027, or considering whether Adult Medicine is the right path for you? The RACP Queensland Trainees' Committee invites prospective and incoming trainees to join us for an event focused on helping you understand what lies ahead and how to get started on the right foot.

Starting Basic Training can feel like a big step, with new requirements, assessments, rotations and expectations to navigate. This orientation session is designed to give you practical information, useful resources and first-hand insights from people who understand the training journey.

Hosted by a member of the Queensland Trainees' Committee, the session will bring together representatives from the Queensland Adult Medicine training network, current trainees and the RACP Queensland team. You'll hear about what is expected of you during training, the support available within your network and the practical realities of progressing through Basic Training.

You'll also have the opportunity to hear from current trainees about their experiences — including how they approached assessments, new locations and how to make the most of the support and resources available to you.

Topics covered on the night include:

• An overview of the RACP Adult Medicine Basic Training program
• Queensland Adult Medicine network requirements and support available to trainees
• Key training resources and where to find the information you need
• Understanding assessment requirements and how to plan ahead
• Practical tips for getting started and staying organised throughout training
• Why having a medical defence organisation matters and what to consider when choosing one
• Advice and insights from current Adult Medicine trainees
• Plus, plenty of opportunity to ask questions and hear about the things you may not have thought to ask.
  

Speakers

• Dr Spencer Toombes - Queensland Health Network Director
• Michael Carr - Avant (Medical Defence Organisation)
• Andrew Taylor - RACP Member Support Officer, QLD
• Dr Felix Torrance – Queensland Trainees Committee Adult Co-Chair
  

Whether you're ready to start training next year or simply want to better understand what training involves, this session is a great opportunity to hear directly from the people who can help you navigate the years ahead.

All prospective and current Adult Medicine Trainees are encouraged to register and attend.
