Meet the Aotearoa New Zealand Trainees' Committee

Formed in 2004, the Aotearoa New Zealand Trainees’ Committee represents and advocates for trainees at all levels of the RACP’s governance, and in matters affecting selection, training, assessment, supervision and overall educational experience. The Trainees’ Committee also leads the development of the annual Aotearoa New Zealand Trainees’ Day.

The Trainees’ Committee has 14 members, including two co-chairs. There are also dedicated trainee representative positions on RACP Education, Policy & Advocacy, Māori Health, Division, Faculty and Chapter committees (both New Zealand and Australasian), and the Aotearoa New Zealand Committee.
