Allison Turnock
I am re-nominating to continue on the AMEN Executive Committee.
I feel strongly about advocating for the continuation of high quality General Practice education and training through the impending changes to training provision.
My past roles as Registrar Liaison Officer, Registrar Medical Educator and Medical Educator at General Practice Training Tasmania; the Tasmanian representative on the AMA Council of Doctors in Training; curator of StARS for GPET; inaugural chair of the GPRA Registrar Medical Educator Subcommittee (now GPRMEN), and board director of GPRA; as well as my current roles as GP, Medical Educator at Tropical Medical Training, and member of both the RACGP National Standing Committee of Education, and Vocational Training Education Committees give me a broad overview of the current General Practice training landscape.
During the last 2 years of my AMEN Executive Committee tenure I have contributed to the development of Terms of Reference, which are due to be reviewed post-election; and am facilitating the development of an AMEN website. I collated the information members provided at our May AMEN meeting for the executive to turn into a letter, which was delivered in part to the Department of Health through our colleagues at GPET. I currently act as secretary for the AMEN Executive Committee.
Change can be daunting, but it can also bring new opportunity. I believe the Australian Medical Educator Network is ideally placed to advocate for what needs to be kept of our current training program, and propose ways of further improving upon this.
