Dear <prefix> <last_name>

The Trainees' Advisory Council (TAC) met in Brisbane on Friday 19 July, with 20 attendees in person and many online. 

Key topics of discussion included 

• Progress of the Trainee Engagement Strategy 
• Expanding trainees’ understanding of the Binational Committee for Trainees’ work 
• Private Practice training and supervision models 
• EPAs, iOCAs, and the MEQ results letter 
• Feedback pathways for trainees regarding accreditation or supervisory concerns 
• Challenges with psychotherapy written case supervision 
• Updates from the trainee reps across geographic jurisdictions 

If you would like more information on what was discussed, please contact your trainee representative directly or watch out for their next update. And please pass this on if you know other trainees who may not be as engaged with the RANZCP’s trainee supports and services. 

Did you know…. All trainees can read the agendas, papers and minutes of the TAC and the Binational Committee for Trainees (BCT) (membership login required). 

Can you help us with our next new trainee welcome orientation webinar? (Tue 10 Sept 6pm-7pm) 

We're looking for a current advanced/stage 3 trainee speaker who'd be happy to speak about 'the things I wish I knew as a first year trainee' and to share their reflections with those starting out. You would only need to speak for around 10 minutes or so on Tuesday 10 September, 6-7pm.  If you're interested and available - or if you know someone who might be, please email Sam Dipnall (sam.dipnall@ranzcp.org).  

Kind regards

Dr Ava Carter, Chair, Trainees' Advisory Council
