The issues facing Doctors-in-Training are often unique. Recognising this, the Federal AMA has a Council for Doctors-in-Training, which is made up of representatives from each state and territory.

Here in the Northern Territory we currently have one nominated Doctors-in-Training Representative, Dr David Chapman. Dr Chapman at Royal Darwin Hospital and is passionate about training and is very approachable.
