The Registrar Research Workshop has been a feature of Australian general practice training since 1994. Twentyfive general practice registrars attend the annual 3 day event, which aims to develop registrars’ understanding of the research process. Presenters and facilitators are drawn from the academic general practitioner and primary health care research community. Presentations alternate with small group sessions, where groups of five registrars are guided through the process of developing a research question, identifying appropriate research methods, and addressing ethical and funding concerns, before preparing a presentation about their research proposal for their peers. Research questions are developed from unanswered questions that have arisen in registrars’ clinical practice.
