Trainee Administration Fee
This is a reminder that the Administration Fee (for trainees who are no longer in structured training but have outstanding requirements) was due by 31 July 2009. Trainees in this category wishing to remain registered as a Faculty trainee are required to pay this fee, equal to 25% of the Annual Training Fee. Those choosing not to remain registered, but who later decide to complete their training and/or assessment, will be required to re-enrol as a trainee and pay the associated Training Registration Fee.
The final date for payment has been extended to 31 August2009, following which FPM status will change to that of a ‘Non-Financial Trainee’. This will mean Faculty publications, mail outs or notifications of events such as Examinations will not be forwarded and access to the member’s section of the Faculty website will be withdrawn.
Please contact the Faculty if you have any queries.
Faculty of Pain Medicine Trainee Lunch
Following the success of the last two years, the Faculty will hold another Trainee lunch during the 2010 Annual Scientific Meeting. This event is designed specifically for Trainees, to not only get to know each other, but also to meet key members of the Faculty including the Dean, Assessor and Executive Officer. This provides a unique opportunity to ask questions relating specifically to Pain Medicine. The next Trainee Lunch will be held on Saturday 1stMay 2010 during the Faculty of Pain Medicine ASM in Christchurch. Further information will be forwarded in due course.We encouraged you to take advantage of this opportunity and put it in your diary.
