This isn’t a new challenge, many medical colleges run successful online exams. Why aren’t learnings being shared and why we exam failures like this still happening? Thinking of all the psych trainees today who’ve had to go through this terrible experience. @amacdt RANZCP

To the 270 distressed candidates impacted by yesterday’s failure of the RANZCP OSCE. AMA President is writing to RANZCP to ensure there is URGENT support, communication & a response in line with that of RACGP, RACP. After so many delays we must get you through! @amacdt AMA Media

Great work by @amacdt. Sensible solutions put on the table and it’s great to see RANZCP agree to these. Now to see the action. Training and assessment is core college business and they need to make sure exam systems are foolproof.

Thank you to the author for writing this piece, captures exactly what trainee doctors go through. Colleges can’t claim ignorance to the wellbeing issues facing their trainees and how their assessment failures compound this. @amacdt AMA (NSW) smh.com.au/national/nsw/d…

Your opinion matters and the AMA (NSW) Doctors in Training committee will be using your HHC responses to make sure your working conditions improve in 2022.

Having senior doctor allies will definitely help in stopping this practice. Hope no new interns have heard from their seniors that they shouldn’t claim.

If you're a Doctor in Training in NSW make sure to check out this fantastic resource. Will decode your payslip and all the confusing terminology associated with it to empower you to understand your pay! #MedTwitter AMA (NSW)

NSW Doctors-in-Training have some of the worst conditions in the country. The wage cap compounds the issue. More and more colleagues looking to work in other states that treat them better #endthewagecap tinyurl.com/er4maprs

This analysis confirms what Doctors-in-Training have known all along, low rates of claiming and getting overtime paid is rife in NSW. NSW Health has implemented policies to reduce claiming barriers but more needs to be done. #HHCinAction

Humbled to have received the AMA National Doctor in Training of the Year award last night at the AMA Media National Conference. Been a privilege to work with other passionate DiTs in NSW as well as AMA (NSW) staff to incrementally change working conditions for the better.

This is always my thought when these new, much needed facilities are announced. Where’s the associated funding commitment for the much needed staff?

Verdict - Increased unrostered overtime, fatigued and burnt out. NSW Doctors-in- Training need safe work hours and an updated award, now. #hospitalhealthcheck #DiTs AMA (NSW) AMA President

Australians are rightly proud of Medicare and of the committed group of doctors and other health professionals who deliver Medicare services. We know the overwhelming bulk of Australia's doctors and health professionals are honest, hardworking and comply with Medicare rules.

We need to better explain to referrers the capabilities, strengths, and diagnostic accuracy of different studies for different disease processes. CT KUB is becoming a "we don't know what's going on, let's just get a CT" study.

‘This is not McDonald’s this is Medicine.’ Great presentation by Dr Kerrie Aust on why fragmentation of healthcare will lead to poorer outcomes for our patients. #AMA24

Excellent panel dissecting the realities of being a doctor on the board. Short sell: there’s definite value of being a doctor on a Board! #AMA24
