JDN ASIA-PACIFIC MEETING<\/p>\n

The Junior Doctors Network held a one-day meeting on October 16th attended by
\napproximately 30 young physicians from the Asia-Pacific Region. Topics discussed included
\npost-graduate medical education, work hours, and junior doctors\u2019 wellbeing across the region.
\nSpecific conversations touched on ideas such as the sharing of best practices around
\ntransitions of care, the evolving role of task shifting in the various countries represented, and the
\nnegotiation of junior doctors contracts.
\nJDN MEETING
\nGeneral proceedings
\nThe Junior Doctors Network held its annual two-day meeting on October 17-18th. During this
\nmeeting, nearly 50 participants from 14 countries gathered and discussed the ongoing work and
\nfuture directions of the organization. Reports were received from active working groups working
\non antimicrobial resistance and on climate change and its associated effects on health. A new
\nworking group was formed which has been tasked with exploring the ethical issues around the
\nnon-psychiatric care of patients in psychiatric institutions. Additionally, the work of the strategic
\nplanning working group was presented, proposing a draft of a revised mission, vision, and
\nstrategic priorities for the organization.
\nBeyond the working group presentations, participants also had the opportunity to exchange
\nnews and best practices from their respective countries. The junior doctors of South Korea were
\nselected as JDN Champions for 2016, taking the lead from the junior doctors of Peru. These
\npresentations were complemented by a session with Sir Michael Marmot and Dr Ardis Hoven,
\naccompanied by Dr Wu from the Taiwanese Medical Association who has generously hosted
\nour meetings.
\nFinally, the candidates for the 2016-2017 presented their candidature in the morning of the
\nsecond day and shortly thereafter the elections were conducted. The new management team
\nwill be led by Dr. Caline Mattar, elected as JDN Chair.<\/p>\n

Discussion on end of life issues
\nThe afternoon of the second day of meetings was devoted to a panel discussion on \u201cEnd-of-life
\ndilemmas\u201d chaired by Dr. Louis Francescutti and featuring Dr. Erik van Wijlick (Netherlands), Dr.

Fernando Rivas (Spain), and Dr. Tom McLaughlin (Canada). The session was designed to
\nengage the participating junior doctors in a vigorous dialogue about tackling end-of-life care and
\ndelving into ethical and value discussions around assisted death. Consideration was given to
\ncurrent medical practices on end-of-life decisions in various countries like Spain, the
\nNetherlands and Canada. The ethical and legal challenges of physician-assisted death were
\nalso explored. Throughout the session junior doctors exchanged differing points of view and
\nwere given the tools to engage in such discussions locally after having been exposed to a wide
\nbreadth of opinions from around the world. A fascinating discussion on the underlying value
\nsystems which support these opinions concluded the workshop. This session was also attended
\nby several WMA council and\tassociate\tmembers.
\nJunior Doctors Network Strategic Planning
\nThe JDN Strategic Planning working group was created in early 2016 and tasked with revisiting
\nthe mission and vision statements of the JDN. Composed of 20 JDN members on 6 different
\ncontinents, the group based much of its work off of data obtained through the 2015 JDN
\nMembership Survey. A one page document has been prepared outlining a new mission and
\nvision for the organization, and exploring its overarching strategic priorities.
\nDr. Paxton Bach, chair of the working group, delivered a presentation to those in attendance
\nunveiling this document designed to define the core objectives of our network. A discussion
\nperiod ensued, allowing members to provide feedback on the draft. The overall consensus was
\na positive one, and the document has now been distributed to all JDN members via the mailing
\nlist to allow for further comments and suggestions. Once feedback has been compiled, the
\nworking group hopes to finalize its draft within the next few months, allowing the process of
\nadoption and implementation to begin.<\/p>\n

Working group on the Elections process:
\nGiven the fact that our current election procedures were designed at the inception of the
\nnetwork, at a time where there were three positions to be filled, very few candidates and few
\nvoting members, a new procedure to organize the elections process was long overdue. Under
\nthe leadership of Dr Lujain Al-Qodmani, a working group was started several months ago and
\nbrought a proposal for regulating the elections through strict deadlines and voting rights
\nverification, modeling after the election procedures of WMA. This proposal was presented to the
\ngroup of members present and will be taken back to the general membership for feedback. It
\nwill be implemented at our next round of elections in 2017.

AT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
\nPolicy engagement
\nThe WMA policy statement on Ethical Considerations in Global Medical Electives was adopted
\nat the WMA GA in Taipei, with the JDN being a strong supporter since its first conception 3
\nyears ago.
\nThe Junior Doctors’ Network has also contributed two new policy proposals for the WMA to
\nconsider: one on the ethical handling of smallpox virus stockpiles and the other representing an
\nupdate of the New Delhi Resolution on Climate Change. Both of those resolutions were
\naccepted at the Associate Members’ Meeting and forwarded to Council by the General
\nAssembly. The JDN is looking forward to engaging with NMAs during the circulation and
\ncommenting process of these policies.
\nEnvironmental caucus
\nMembers of the Junior Doctors Network participated enthusiastically in the meeting of the
\nenvironmental caucus and provided an update from activities at COP21 and planned activities
\nat COP22. Furthermore, they expressed the continued interest in continuing to engage with the
\nenvironmental caucus, namely through the means of a mailing list that would be setup to allow
\ncommunications to be maintained between in-person meetings.
\nOTHER JDN CONTRIBUTIONS TO WMA WORK:
\nThe JDN has continued its efforts to support the work of the WMA by authoring various articles
\npublished in the World Medical Journal on global issues in medicine and medical ethics. The
\nmost recent addition was an article on the health of asylum seekers in Europe, which was
\ncomplemented by the WMA resolution on Refugees and Migrants adopted at the GA in Taipei.
\nThe JDN working group on antimicrobial resistance has submitted a WMJ article entitled \u201cOne
\nHealth and Antimicrobial Resistance\u201d, summarizing the current literature on the topic and
\nhighlighting its rising importance as a major health issue globally. This is particularly timely
\ncoming on the eve of the second annual One Health Conference, held in collaboration with the
\nJapanese Medical Association, the World Veterinary Medical Association, and the Japanese
\nVeterinary Medicine Association. Antimicrobial resistance will play a prominent role at this
\nconference and has also recently been included on the agenda at the UN General Assembly in
\nNew York, underscoring its rising importance.
