The article by Kerridge et al in this issue of the Journal (page 28)1 raises a number of important issues for the University of Notre Dame Australia and the community in general. The role of the Australian Medical Council (AMC) is to assess whether a medical school has appropriate structures and resources and is proposing a curriculum that meets the AMC’s set standards. The AMC also guides schools on changes that may be necessary and on the issues that will be monitored in future reports and visits.
