MedEd09 will be the third MedEd Conference hosted by Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand Inc. MedEd Conferences provide a forum for debate on the future of medical education and training and promote greater awareness amongst the key stakeholders of the potential linkages across the medical education, training and practice continuum.

MedEd09 will provide a timely platform for discussion and debate on the rapidly changing health agenda in Australia, including directions from the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission, the National HealthCare Agreements, National Partnerships in Health, new National Health Workforce Agency and the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for health professionals.

The Conference will also be an opportunity to review the progress of recommendations from the 2007 Conference, Seamless Medical Education

I look forward to meeting you at the Conference.

Professor Neville Yeomans
Chair
