New AMA Federal Council and Chair of Council of Doctors in Training
The AMA is delighted to announce that Dr Hannah Szewczyk has been elected to AMA Federal Council as the Doctor in Training (DiT) Practice Group Representative with another nominated DIT Representative to be appointed!
The new Federal Council will begin its term from 1 August 2022, and for the first time meets the AMA’s gender target of 40 percent female, 40 percent male, 40 flexible representation on Federal Council.
The AMA Federal Council now has increased Doctor in Training representation with two official DiT representative spots in addition to the election of Dr Ekta Paw as an ordinary member representative.
The new Federal Council was elected through a process which began in April with AMA members nominating for, contesting and voting on 10 of the 16 Federal Council positions. The results have just been finalised and can be viewed here.
The AMA thanks all doctors for their nominations, congratulates all newly elected Federal Council representatives and looks froward to working with them and those yet-to-be elected for the new term commencing 1 August 2022 and concluding 31 July 2024.
