Welcome message

On behalf of the Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria, I welcome you to the 2010 Prevocational Medical Education Forum’s web site. The National Prevocational Medical Education Forum began in 1995 and has been organised by Postgraduate Medical Education Councils and aligned professional bodies throughout Australia since that time. This Forum is now an important annual event which brings together national and international professionals committed to medical education, including medical education officers, clinical trainers and educators, health service managers, junior doctors, educational researchers and other academics interested in healthcare education.

The theme and dates of this year’s conference is “Racing to the Future: Innovation, Integration and Transformation”  and will be held 7-10th November 2010. It will provide the opportunity for speakers and delegates to inform the discussion on the many and varied issues affecting the continuum of medical education, at a time when there is considerable and very rapid change. The medical workforce is about to expand significantly with the growth in medical graduates and this provides challenges for us all.

The Conference Committee has planned a program which will provide a variety of exciting sessions including plenaries, delegate presentations, poster presentations and pre-conference workshops.  We are also planning pre-conference workshops. We trust there will be something of interest for everyone.

Melbourne is the third most ‘liveable' city in the world, espouses a multicultural ethos and offers an unparalleled range of fine dining and shopping, an impressive offering of arts and culture, unforgettable sights and sounds and botanic delights; you'll find it all in Melbourne.

Make the decision and plan to come to Melbourne, Australia in November 2010.

I hope you will join us for this important gathering of health care professionals.
