Victoria

The faculty meets regularly, with both online and in-person options offered to suit members’ busy schedules. All faculty members, including retired Fellows and trainees, are welcome to attend and participate.
 
Details for meetings to be held in 2023 will be sent as calendar invitations in late 2022.
 
For further details, or if you have not received any upcoming calendar invitations, please contact the Faculties Administrator at [email protected].

Membership of the Victoria Faculty Board consists of:

• Four members elected by faculty members (‘FACEM members’); and
• Members holding other elected positions within the College, who are then members of their regional Faculty Board by virtue of their substantive role.

The Faculty Board meets regularly and works to deliver the educational and advocacy priorities of the wider faculty. FACEM members are elected for two-year terms, with the current members elected in November 2021. All positions on the Faculty Board are currently filled.
 
If you are interested in becoming a FACEM member of the Faculty Board, there will be a call for nominations in mid-2023, with a vote open to all faculty members should more members nominate than there are positions available.
 
As of November 2021, membership of the Faculty Board is as follows:
