PMCV Office Closure
2021-12-24 - 2022-01-02
Our offices will be closed from the 24th of December until the 2nd of January.

Annual Collaboration Extravaganza
2021-12-10 09:00 - 2021-12-14 18:00 | Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria, Suite 801, Level 8, 533 Little Lonsdale Street, MELBOURNE, Victoria, 3000, Australia
Join PMCV for our Annual Collaboration Extravaganza where we will bring the Victorian medical community together once again.
On Friday the 10th of December 2021, the Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV) will host the PMCV Annual Collaboration Extravaganza.
This event will be the first opportunity to bring together the Victorian medical community to reflect on the year that has been and work together to plan for 2022.
The day will feature a diverse array of interactive sessions and will be capped off by celebratory drinks and canapes!
We’re excited to welcome Associate Professor Lyn Clearihan as our keynote speaker for this event. Lyn’s session ‘Navigating the Personal while Developing the Professional’ will cover important aspects of the proFESS framework and how it can enhance the understanding of professionalism and fitness of practice.
Some of the sessions you can expect will be:
Communication Techniques Workshop
This session is open to all.
These workshops will help you to further develop your confidence when communicating as well as providing you with some handy take-away tools that you can apply to a variety of clinical workplace situations.
Breakout Sessions:
1) MEO Network and Clinical Supervisor Network
This is a collaborative session for both MEOs and Clinical Supervisors.
This will be the last MEO Network session for 2021 as well as an introductory session for the Clinical Supervisor Network. MEOs and Supervisors will then have the chance to reflect and collaborate on the strategies that will best support prevocational education and training planning for 2022, as well as exploring the future direction of clinical supervisor sessions.
2) Medical Workforce: Aligning recruitment dates for 2022
This session is for Medical Workforce Managers and Directors.
In 2021 as part of the Streamline Recruitment Initiative, PMCV commenced the alignment of recruitment dates for Matched recruitment. This is an interactive workshop that seeks to collaboratively set the recruitment cycle dates for 2022. While the session will include matched positions its goal is to incorporate and align dates for specialist HMO and HMO3 roles as well.
3) Accreditation Surveyor Refresher Training
This session is for existing Surveyors.
Due to the suspension of the Accreditation program in 2020, many surveyors may not have undertaken a recent survey in 2021. This session will give you the opportunity to refresh your knowledge of the process prior to embarking on the 2022 survey cycle.
PMCV Showcase:
This session will be a celebration of what PMCV’s strategic pillars have achieved in 2021 as well as looking into what we will be doing in 2022. We hope that you will come away from this session with some valuable insight into how PMCV will be collaborating with you and the wider Victorian healthcare system into the future.
