PRESS RELEASE: ACAM conducts successful board elections
On Tuesday 22nd of October, 2024, the Australasia College of Aesthetic Medicine (ACAM), completed the organisation’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) with good attendance from members. Under the stewardship of Dr Caswell, ACAM has adopted a modern constitution, honed its multi-college accredited CPD educational short courses, whilst creating professional standards and accessible education for college members. ACAM has contributed to changes in guidelines and white papers concerning cosmetic medicine.
“ACAM’s constitution”, Dr Caswell explained, “Allows for a maximum of two terms as President, as such it is appropriate for me to move to the position of Immediate Past President (IPP)”. Vice President Dr Matthew Holman (South Australia) moves into the role of President, Dr Mutti Khan (NSW) has accepted the role of Vice President, and Dr Alexs Kaddour, from Perth, (WA) retains her position as a director. ACAM welcomes Dr Sarah Boxley (WA) to the board; Dr Boxley has been elected to the position of Secretary.
In keeping with ACAM’s national representation, Dr Andrew Clark (WA) remains as Treasurer, Dr Nagd Farag (Victoria) continues in the role as Censor in Chief, Dr Shuai Wang (Victoria) continues as a director, and head of the ACAM Membership Committee.
Dr Caswell says, “The board elections have shown terrific membership engagement and are designed to retain ACAM’s corporate knowledge, along with ongoing consistent and strong representation for members. As ACAM exists for the benefits of its members, the monumental structural, business administration and educational changes achieved for the organisation over the last four years, will continue to mature.” Dr Caswell sends her congratulations to the successfully elected board members.
“ACAM’s three tenets are representation, education and reputation. The organisation will continue to lead the way in ethical delivery of aesthetic medicine, in practice environments that meet the highest practice standards. ACAM supports its members with accessible, high quality CPD, bench marked by accredited medical colleges and agencies. This allows patients to identify practitioners who adhere to guidelines and provide high quality aesthetic medical services,” said Dr Caswell.
In the past four years ACAM has matured as a modern representative organisation. ACAM provides internationally recognised qualifications through its three Aesthetic Medicine Fellowship Pathways. ACAM’s fellowship pathways have revolutionised Australia’s aesthetic medicine educational standards. The pathways are delivered in conjunction with the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and University of South Wales (UK), ensuring holistic and robust aesthetic medicine training, focusing on clinical practice and ethical delivery of medical services.
