Clinical Radiology Trainee Committee (CRTC)
by RANZCR
A message from the New Chair: Dr Sanjay Hettige
Happy new year everyone! Unfortunately, the summer break feels like a distant memory with the clinical year truly in full swing. The first sitting of the new written exams for Phase 2 candidates have been and gone and our Phase 1 candidates are busy preparing for their written exams in late April. We’ve also got a brand-new Clinical Radiology Training Committee (CRTC) for 2023. Your enthusiastic trainee representatives are:
• Charles Robertson (NZ) • Max Howcroft (Tas) • Sian Chin (WA) • James Waldron (WA) • Son Do (QLD)
• Annika Cruickshank (QLD) • Denver Khoo (QLD) • Rachele Quested (QLD) • Paul Watson (Vic) • Me (NSW)
We look forward to advocating on your behalf to improve the College trainee experience. One of our biggest aims for this year will be improve transparency and consultation of trainees by the College. In recent times with the new Admission to Fellowship Fee as well as the large increase to Phase 2 examination fees for 2023, trainees have felt a lack of consultation and engagement. We’ve heard this loud and clear from trainees and are actively engaging with the College to make sure future changes are discussed with trainees long before they are implemented. You’ll be kept up to date on the progress of our advocacy work in the Trainee eNews and we’ll be looking to open up other engagement channels as well.
Lastly, I’d like to welcome all the new trainees that have joined our College in 2023. A big welcome to you all and you’ve definitely chosen the best specialty! I promise you that you definitely won’t miss the early morning ward rounds and will instead enjoy the collegiality of the radiology reporting room.
As always, we look forward to hearing your feedback, questions and comments. You can reach us at clinicalradtc@gmail.com. Also feel free to reach out to me personally as well. You can reach me at sanjay.hettige@gmail.com.
We look forward to working with you all this year to make sure radiology training is the best it can be.
Dr Sanjay Hettige Chair, CRTC 2023
