Doctor takes aim at ‘pompous, bow tie-wearing’ specialist training committees
Dr Colin McClintock would also like to see the NSW Ministry of Health deliver a 'slap around the chops' to inject some common sense: inquiry.
A prominent doctor has taken a swipe at city-centric “pompous, bow tie-wearing” specialists on training committees.
Dr Colin McClintock’s day job is as a renal specialist based in Dubbo, NSW.
But last week, he told a government inquiry how he had been “wrangling” with a specialist training committee to set up a cardiology program at Dubbo Hospital.
Despite the hospital having enough senior clinical staff to support a training program, he said the specialist training committee had so far refused his request.
