Prevocational Doctor of the Year and Clinical Educator of the Year Awards

The Confederation of Postgraduate Medical Education Councils (CPMEC) acknowledge Prevocational Doctors and Clinical Educators across Australia and New Zealand for their major contribution to prevocational medical education and training annually.
