The Committee also works on matters affecting selection, training, assessment, supervision and overall educational experience for RACP Aotearoa New Zealand trainees. Additionally, the RACP Aotearoa New Zealand Trainees’ Committee leads the development of the annual RACP Aotearoa New Zealand Trainees’ Day.
