Remote supervision and RACGP vocational trainingWilliam Lang Rural and Regional Queensland Consortium Remote supervision of general practice registrars remains a controversial issue. This paper looks at the history of remote supervision in the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' (RACGP) and other training programs, the evidence that it is an educationally valid model and its perceived usefulness in the current GP training environment. Some current examples of its use are detailed. |

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners review of the Curriculum for Australian General Practice 2005-2007Dr Morton Rawlin The RACGP, South Melbourne, Victoria The review of the RACGP Curriculum for Australian general practice represents a major investment of time and energy by general practitioners across Australia. Over 180 GPs have participated in 27 working groups (or ‘content areas of general practice') to produce a document that will guide general practice education for many years to come. Over 20 submissions have also been received from external organisations as part of the consultation process. |
Implementing change in GP training - GP-StartBruce Mugford Sturt Fleurieu Strathalbyn, South Australia Despite the regionalisation of general practice, many of the underlying elements of the previous general practice training arrangements have remained the same. While it could be argued that this model had ‘stood the test of time' Sturt Fleurieu felt change was needed to manage work pressure on supervisors and the great diversity and background of applicants. It was also felt that greater uniformity in the teaching program was required to minimize site to site variation as well as defining clearer teaching deliverables. |
The Primary Health Care Research Evaluation And Development Strategy Phase 1 - what happened?Ellen McIntyre, Libby Kalucy Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia The aim of the first 5 years (2000-2004) of the Primary Health Care Research Evaluation and Development (PHCRED) Strategy (Phase 1) was to embed a research culture in general practice and primary health care.

A glimpse into the future of training: the impact of a prevocational GP rotation on participantsRachel Sinclair General practice registrar,
Bridgewater, Tasmania The Royal Hobart Hospital participated in a prevocational general practice placement program for junior medical officers (JMOs) through a public GP clinic located in Hobart, Tasmania. The program was coordinated by the Department of Rural Health at the University of Tasmania. It consisted of 3 month rotations for JMOs at the GP clinic. Eight JMOs completed the rotations from 2003-2004. The participating JMOs were given provider and prescriber numbers and the clinical autonomy to look after patients under direct supervision of an allocated supervisor. |
