On May 13, Prof. Stephen Tobin, alongside Prof. James Fraser, Prof. Hayder Al-Abuidy, and Dr. Rachelle Levi attended a highly collaborative Australian Medical Council (AMC) accreditation workshop in Melbourne.
The workshop provided a valuable opportunity to share insights and establish benchmarks alongside representatives from other medical programs across Australia, including the University of Newcastle Joint Medical Program (JMP) with the University of New England, and Curtin University Medical School. Engaging with peers running successful distributed and regional clinical training models reinforces our shared goal of medical school programs, including outside of major metropolitan centres.
Following the workshop, the official accreditation dates and panel team members for the Federation University School of Medicine evaluation were formally confirmed. With our comprehensive AMC Stage 2 submission currently under active review by the AMC and the appointed accreditation team, we are fully focused on preparations and look forward to welcoming the panel for the site visits in early August 2026.
