2009 CPMEC National Junior Doctor Award

Which junior doctor has made the greatest contribution to medical education?

CPMEC’s Inaugural National Junior Doctor of the Year Award was presented to Dr Stephanie Arnold of NSW for her outstanding contributions to the welfare and education of junior doctors during her time as Chair of the NSW JMO Forum. CPMEC hopes that this award provides a spur for junior doctors to contribute to education and training. In 2009 the award will be even more competitive with New Zealand and the Northern Territory also participating.

The selection procedure is that each State or Territory selects its Junior Doctor of the Year and offers this person as a candidate for the National Award. Nominations are now open for the NSW Junior Doctor 2009. Nominations should include at least 100 words as supporting evidence. Articles, reports, rosters, letters of recommendation, and the like may be submitted as supporting documentation.

Nominations close on Friday 18 September 2009. To submit a nomination or for more information, contact Ms Shelly Llewellyn-Palmer, Prevocational Support Officer, (02) 9844 6515, sllewellyn-palmer@imet.health.nsw.gov.au (or by mail to NSW IMET Locked Bag 5022 Gladesville NSW 1675).
