Section 4: Self-guided learningThe heart of what the Faculty hopes to achieve is an information-sharing forum held on behalf of the membership. By the end of it, we'd like members to walk away with accurate, first-hand information about the Model and how training will look from 2027. We would like to facilitate their questions to be answered on the day or formally taken on notice, with written responses to follow. The membership is curious about how it might support training and open a channel of communication that persists beyond this one morning.
