The Confederation of Postgraduate Medical Education Councils is developing an accreditation framework covering prevocational training positions across the country. While generally supportive of the concept, the AMA Council of Doctors in Training has expressed concerns at the current draft document that has been released for comment. In particular, the AMACDT believes that the draft PMAF focuses too heavily on general principles and procedures. While there are references to governance and supervisory standards, the document does not outline the applicable standards, and associated criteria and indicators, by which hospitals should be assessed in order to gain accreditation for their clinical training.

The AMACDT has encouraged the CMPEC to involve AMACDT representatives in preparing a revised draft to ensure that the input of junior doctors is properly taken into account.
