Next ACRRM President announced

Rural Generalist (RG) Dr Claire Arundell has been announced as the next President of the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM).
 
She will formally take over the top job at the college’s Annual General Meeting in October, succeeding outgoing President Dr Rod Martin. 
 
Currently living on Norfolk Island, Dr Arundell also has Advanced Specialised Training in Anaesthetics, is an educator, instructor, and past Chair of ACRRM’s Council.
 
Dr Arundell says she is ‘honoured and excited to lead the college at a time when RGs have never been more important’. 

‘I’ve been fortunate to learn from so many outstanding RGs throughout my career, and I’m excited to work with our members to keep building a college that supports, inspires and advocates for our profession,’ she said.

‘I’m constantly inspired by my colleagues. Every day, I see ACRRM RGs stepping up for their communities with skill, compassion and an incredible breadth of expertise.
 
‘It’s a profession unlike any other, and I’m passionate about making sure it’s recognised, supported and continues to thrive.’
 
Dr Martin, who has served as ACRRM President for the past two years, congratulated Dr Arundell and welcomed the next generation of leadership. 

‘Claire brings energy, experience and an unwavering commitment to rural practice,’ he said. 

‘She has dedicated countless hours to strengthening the profession, while never losing sight of what matters most – our members and the communities they serve. 

‘I know ACRRM will flourish under her leadership.’
