| Important note about expanded scope of the review: AMC to conduct the work arising from COAG Review of Medical Intern Training
In 2018, Health Ministers’ released their response to the 2015 Council of Australian Governments Health Council (COAG) Review of Medical Intern Training. New South Wales was the jurisdiction tasked to lead national implementation of key recommendations, with an immediate focus on developing a two-year Capability and Performance Framework, Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) and specifications for an e-portfolio, on behalf of the Australian Health Ministers’ Advisory Council (AHMAC). Given the overlap and interdependency of the two projects, it has been agreed that the AMC will conduct this work on behalf of AHMAC. |
