AMA Federal Extraordinary General Meeting - 19th March 2022, 2pm AEDT, via Zoom

Why is the EGM being held? 

·   The EGM is being held to vote on proposed changes to the structure of the  AMA Federal Council 

·   All members should have received a notification email with title “Notice of the AMA Extraordinary General Meeting” 

What would AMA Federal Council reform mean for DiTs? 

·   Currently, there is only one DiT Representative on Federal Council. This position is held by the AMA Council of Doctors in Training (CDT) Chair. 

·   If the proposed reform is supported by voting members, we will have two DiT Representatives on Federal Council. Further, there will also be three General Members on Federal Council which may be filled by any AMA member. These positions could be filled by DiTs or by other members and therefore improve the overall diversity of Federal Council. 

How can you vote? 

·   All AMA Federal members are eligible to vote.
