Advocacy 

Through the AMA Queensland Committee of Doctors in Training (CDT), we advocate collectively on the critical issues affecting junior doctors including:

  • medical workforce shortages - we support a coordinated and planned increase in clinical training places for medical students and postgraduate training places for medical graduates
  • placements, funding arrangements and the number of postgraduate training places at prevocational and vocational (specialist) level
  • appropriate rostering arrangements and payment for all hours worked

CDT meets regularly to review and progress the important issues you face as a doctor in training.

Do you have an issue you would like to discuss with CDT? Email [email protected]

CDT reports to the AMA Queensland Board and Council.
