VRC FPM CME evening meeting
Victorian Trainee Day
The Victorian Trainee Committee brought together a great Victorian Trainee Day which focused on welfare, research, fellowship and challenges. Everyone enjoyed an informative relaxed day with their colleagues, along with social drinks and networking afterwards. Overall, it was well-received with great feedback and we look forward to offering it again in 2026.
Please mark in your calendars Friday 13 November 2026 and join us again next year.
