Education and training

Cover image -Curriculum 2011The RACGP launched the updated Curriculum for Australian General Practice 2011 at GP11 on 6th October 2011 in Hobart. The 2011 Curriculum recognises that the majority of the 2007 version remains relevant and robust, while incorporating new educational and training needs arising out of the evolving Australian general practice environment.

This version of the curriculum is operational immediately; however assessment against the 2011 Curriculum will commence in the first examination cycle in 2013.

The 2007 Curriculum is available at www.racgp.org.au/curriculum/2007 although it must be understood that this 2007 version is now superseded.

The 1998 Curriculum has now been archived; this document may be accessed for historical, reference or study purposes from the College Curriculum and Academic Governance unit via email at curriculum@racgp.org.au
