National Appointment Process Since 2004 ANZAN has taken the responsibility of matching trainees to jobs across Australia. Trainees are interviewed on a state by state basis for any job in Australia. One of the major benefits of the process is that it offers the opportunity for those trainees who wish to do so, to continue training in another state. On satisfactory completion of the first core year of advanced training each trainee is guaranteed a second year of core training in the same state as the first year but he or she can also apply for accredited positions interstate and overseas. No applicant is obliged to move states. It is preferable that the trainee performs each core year of training in a separate institution. It is hoped the process will extend to include New Zealand trainees in the near future. Overseas Training Positions ANZAN has secured several year-long positions in prestigious overseas departments for advanced trainees in neurology and appointments to these positions may be accredited as a core training year. These positions include the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London; Royal Free Hospital, London; Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford University; and the Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota. Appointment is by open competition from advanced trainee members of ANZAN from Australia and New Zealand. Advanced Trainee Council There is a neurology advanced trainee council, elected from and
