The PMCV seeks to improve the educational and training opportunities available to support the welfare and career development of prevocational doctors who have recently graduated or commenced work in the Victorian health system.
Through our work, we aspire to promote safe, high quality and accessible healthcare and a sustainable, highly motivated and effective health workforce. Our primary areas of work include accreditation, education and professional development, allocation and placement service, and support for the professional and personal wellbeing of doctors in training.
The Rules of the Council set out our statement of purposes and our governance requirements.
