New drug
A new drug has just been approved for use in Australia. SITAGLIPTIN (Januvia) is an oral drug for type 2 Diabetes mellitus. It is a new class of drug, a dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-4) inhibitor. Sitagliptin is an 'incretin enhancer' that increases the levels of active incretin by inhibiting their metabolism by DPP-4, thus prolonging their effect in stimulating insulin release and decreasing glucagon secretion.

  1. Have you paid your 2008 Training Fees?

Thank you to all trainees who have paid their Annual Training Fee.

The 2008 Training Fees were due on 31 January 2008 for all trainees in Australia, New Zealand and all other countries in non-ANZCA regions, (This does not apply to trainees in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia whose training fees are due on 30 June 2008).

If you are in the former group and have not yet paid your fees please do so as soon as possible.  The Training Fee form can be obtained from the website at http://www.anzca.edu.au/trainees/trainee-forms/atf-2008-annual-training-fee-form.

A reminder also that beginning in 2008, the College introduced a Deferred Training Fee for those trainees not in supervised training or who are ‘taking a break’ from training.  This fee maintains registration and ensures Trainees’ access to the use of the Library and protected areas of the new website, as well as the ongoing receipt of the ANZCA Bulletin and other communications.

The 2008 Training Fees are as follows:
