July 2010
AMPA is proposing changes to the A&M training programme from
2012.
These changes would see the A&M Care Course become
compulsory, along with some DipCEM papers.
Currently the AMCC is optional and the DIPCEM compulsory.
We stress that the changes are merely proposed ones at this
stage.
We hope to confirm and detail the changes (if any) by the end of
this year.
We do not expect that trainees mid-way through training will have
any additional requirements.
If you are a trainee and would like to discuss how these changes
might affect you, please call Brenda Evitt or
David Gollogly.

Wall Street Journal item on Urgent Care
This article
gives an account of the development of Urgent Care in the USA over
the past 20 years and its standing. NZ Clinics have faced many of
the issues covered, including relations with Emergency Medicine, and
clinic accreditation.
ASEM meeting
A very productive meeting was held with ASEM after its
conference. Areas of cooperation discussed included:
1) Discounted subscription for AMPA members to Emergency Medicine
Australasia, jointly owned by ASEM and ACEM. EMA journal and AMPA
members having access to this at an agreed AMPA rate.
2) AMPA's training for Australian community and hospital based
urgent care doctors. AMPA to make attainment of Fellowship
accessible to Australian doctors.
3) AMPA /ASEM have a combined conference weekend to work in with
AMPA's AGM in March 2008. Topics and lecturers to be discussed
and contributions from both parties would be the best plan. A
suggested location was the Bay of Islands.
4) Gayle to provide AMPA with details of their October
Conference. AMPA to confirm a contribution / sponsorship
for this at the next Executive meeting. AMPA to circulate
notice of conference to members and put details on web site.
5) ASEM promotion of AMPA training.
