MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR

Welcome

Dr Anne Tonkin

Chair, Medical Board of Australia

Thanks to the nearly 10,000 doctors in training who took

part in the first Medical Training Survey (MTS). The

survey gave trainees a collective voice, and the results

detailed in this report now give the rest of us an

opportunity to reflect and act on what they have said.

The MTS results create the first national, comprehensive

picture of medical training in Australia. They provide an

evidence-base that we can learn from to improve the

culture of medicine and further strengthen medical

training.

We have deliberately presented the results of the MTS

unadorned. Trainee responses are presented in a series

of static reports and the data are also accessible through

an online reporting tool, accessible from the MTS website

at www.medicaltrainingsurvey.gov.au. As promised, we

have prioritised confidentiality and results are only

published when there were 10 or more responses. We

expect reporting detail to increase year on year, as the

MTS is established.

The MTS aimed to gather the most comprehensive,

national data possible about medical training in Australia.

We are pleased to present these data directly to

educators, policy makers, clinicians, employers and

others who can use it to inform their work to strengthen

medical training.

More than one in four trainees shared their perspectives

on their training by doing the MTS. We hope that, over

time, trainees gain confidence in the confidentiality and

value of the MTS and that participation rates continue to

increase.

The MTS data are rich and provide fascinating insights. In

general, trainees rate their quality of training very highly

and there is a lot going well in medical training in

Australia. Most trainees rated their quality of clinical

supervision and teaching highly. About 75% of trainees

work more than 40 hours per week, but many value the

extra training opportunities this provides. Most trainees

would recommend their current training post and nearly

all intend to continue with their training program. We are

delighted that close to 40% of eligible international

medical graduates participated in the MTS and were

generally very satisfied with their training experience.

There are opportunities to improve trainee access to

health and well-being support programs.

Trainees have sent a loud message about bullying and

harassment and it is incumbent on all of us to heed it. We

must all redouble our efforts to strengthen professional

behaviour and deal effectively with unacceptable

behaviour. We must do this if we are serious about

improving the culture of medicine.

The Board is grateful to the stakeholders who worked

with us to develop the MTS. Sincere thanks to all the

members of our steering committee and advisory group,

who shared their expertise and experience so openly.

Special thanks to our small advisory group of doctors in

training - with their vision, enthusiasm and commitment,

the future of medicine is bright.

Background

INTRODUCTION

The Medical Training Survey (MTS) is a national,

profession-wide survey of doctors in training in Australia.

It is a confidential way to get national, comparative,

profession-wide data to strengthen medical training in

Australia. The MTS is conducted annually with doctors in

training, with 2019 representing the first wave of data

collection.

The objectives of the survey are to:

• promote better understanding of the quality of medical

training in Australia

• identify how best to improve medical training in

Australia, and

• identify and help deal with potential issues in medical

training that could impact on patient safety, including

environment and culture, unacceptable behaviours

and poor supervision.

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency

(Ahpra), on behalf of the Medical Board of Australia (the

Board), commissioned EY Sweeney to undertake data

collection and report on results for the MTS.

INTERPRETING THIS REPORT

Data collection for the MTS involved receiving responses

to an online survey from n=9,917 doctors in training, with

n=9,378 responses eligible for analysis (i.e. currently

training in Australia) between 25 July and 7 October 2019.

Different versions of the survey were used to reflect the

particular training environment of doctors who are at

different stages in their training. Doctors in training

answered questions about their experiences in their

workplace. This could be the doctor in training’s current

setting, workplace, placement or rotation, or might be a

previous setting, if they have only been practising or

training in their current setting for less than two weeks.

METHOD

21826.8%responded to the

Bases exclude 'not applicable' responses or where the

respondent skipped the question. Data in this report are

unweighted. Labels on stacked charts are hidden for

results 3% or less. Results with base sizes of less than

n=10 are suppressed.

Data percentages displayed throughout the report are

rounded to the nearest whole number. As such, if there is

an expectation for a given chart or table that all

percentages stated should add to 100% or nets should

equal to the sum of their parts, this may not happen due to

rounding.

For this report, results for the Northern Territory are

presented at an overall level. To explore results within

each jurisdiction please visit

www.medicaltrainingsurvey.gov.au/results

This report provides key results based on n=218 doctors

in training, working in locations across the Northern

Territory compared against national results (n=9,378) of all

doctors in training.
