The Trainees and Members’ Committee is a representative Committee of elected Trainees and Members (post-MRCP(UK)), Associates (pre-MRCP(UK)) and e-Associates (medical students and Foundation Doctors) of the College. The Committee provides support for trainees and to ensure that the views of trainees are represented in all College discussions and to represent trainees in our external discussions, such as within the Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB).

Purpose

The Digital Education Committee oversees the College's digital education programme ensuring provision of appropriate resources for all Members and Fellows, and raising the profile of the College's digital education within and outside the College.

Purpose

The Symposium Committee oversees the College's rolling programme of specialty-specific symposia, with each specialty being covered at least once every four years.

For each symposium, a call goes out for an organising chair in that specialty, who then establishes an organising committee. Each organising committee includes the specialty representative from the Symposium Committee and reports back to the Symposium Committee, which reviews the submitted programme, and approves it once completed.

Purpose

The Education Executive Group supports the Director of Education in developing and delivering the education strategy.  Discussion at the group ensures all strands of education are integrated and that there is appropriate and affordable education available to meet the needs of Fellows, Members and Associates of the College.

Chaired by the Director of Education, this group meets four to five times each year.

Sub-committees

Chaired by the Treasurer, this Committee reviews and reports on financial affairs of the College and meets four times each year.
