- reading time for Agendas and papers, delivered approximately one week before each Subcommittee meeting
- flexibility and a willingness to support the rollout and implementation of the new accreditation program and accreditation of training settings and its Paediatrics & Child Health Basic Training Program
- contributing to joint discussion and decision-making on the accreditation of training settings which offer Adult Internal Medicine and Paediatrics & Child Health Basic Training Programs
- liaising with and being assisted by the Training Accreditation Services team in completing accreditation related activities.
Members are appointed for an initial term of 3 years, with the option to renew for a further term.
