The RACP’s leadership needs life support as toxic culture tears it apart
It has been reported that six more board directors have quit in the last few days.
Internecine warfare has once more engulfed the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
Last week, its board issued a vote of no confidence in its president-elect, Dr Sharmila Chandran (pictured).
The Melbourne renal physician, elected president by members last year, was due to take up the top job next May.
She stands accused — and these are merely accusations — of engaging in “adversarial and disrespectful behaviour” and contributing “to a toxic culture at the board table that has led to the early departure of directors”.
