Youth Friendly Doctor Training 2016 Program The Youth Friendly Doctor (YFD) Program was developed by the AMA (WA) Foundation in consultation with doctors and other health professionals. The program builds the capacity

of doctors to communicate effectively and optimise their contact with young people. Practical sessions are delivered by experts in the relevant medical and legal fields. In addition to providing practical youth-specific training, YFD provides doctors with reference materials, referral links and ongoing support to encompass a holistic youth friendly practice. To be accredited as a Youth Friendly Doctor, you will be required to complete both the core module workshops plus one of the elective workshops. This program is accredited with the ACRRM and the RACGP, attracting Category 1 and/or Category 2 QI&CPD Points. Rural doctors have the opportunity to participate via the virtual online classroom. All workshops are held on a Tuesday evening at the AMA (WA) House in Nedlands from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. FREE for AMA (WA) members; $50 per workshop for non-members.
