Registrar Committee - building Rural Generalism future, from dreams to reality
Abstract Overview
In this Panel Discussion, members of the current Registrar Committee and past President of the RegCom, Dr Alison Hempenstall, will discuss how engaging with the College can change the course of one’s journey. Fostering relevant changes into the future of Rural Generalism, transforming the very fabric registrars have to thread along to achieve Fellowship, and building relationships between ACRRM and its members are a few examples of the above.
We aim to showcase how registrars can make their voices echo and build meaning via the RegCom advocacy efforts, as well as demystify how this process works, by clearly pointing out “where we are” in the governance scheme of things.
We will also point out a few advocacy achievements of the Registrar Committee’s work, to demonstrate that collaborating with the RegCom can lead to positive impacts on the community we are building, and may also change its participants, by allowing them to develop connections, drawn from more experienced others, and grow from being embedded in the processes being developed.
This team of Registrars is not different from the cohort it represents, it has rather developed itself by exerting cooperative agency that dares to build up from the dreams of many.
