Medical Education and Training (3rd) report tables

With the functions of the Medical Training Review Panel (MTRP) report being absorbed by National Medical Training Advisory Network (NMTAN) in early 2017, NMTAN agreed to release medical education and training (MET) data similar to that published in previous MTRP reports. The newly created Medical Education and Training (MET) Dataset is made available online each year and reports the annual changes in medical education and training in Australia. The dataset aims to continue the time series from MTRP and is presented in the same tabled format as the former publications. The tables contained in the MET report are found below, by chapter and by keyword search.
