Meetings

Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand meet formally twice each year. 

Annual General Meeting

The Deans' Annual General Meeting is held in the first half of each year. The meeting is held in conjunction with the Deans Standing Committtee which the Minister for Health and Ageing and senior officers of the Department of Health and Ageing attend. It is an opportunity for the Deans to discuss priority issues and policy matters affecting professional entry level medical education.

Annual Conference

The Annual Conference is usually held in September/October and is hosted by one of the medical faculties on a rotating basis. Invited guests often attend, including regular attendance by representatives of the Australian Medical Students' Association, the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, the Australian Medical Council, Committee of Presidents of Medical Colleges, and the Confederation of Postgraduate Medical Education Councils.

Each second year, an Indigenous Knowledge Initiative is held in conjunction with the Annual Conference to which all Deans participate.
