The Pre-vocational General Practice Placements Program
Rotate into your general practice experience
Program objective and aims
The program objective is to provide professional, well supervised and educational general practice placements for junior doctors as part of their training.
The aims are three-fold:
- build junior doctor confidence, exposure and interest in working in outer metropolitan and regional areas through supervised general practice placements
- increase understanding of the integration between primary and secondary health care by junior doctors
- provide an experience that may encourage junior
doctors to take up general practice as a career.
Eligibility to apply to the program
The target group for this initiative is junior doctors undertaking hospital training but not yet enrolled in a speciality.
Recently added to this group are interns and international medical graduates who are now also able to participate in this beneficial program.
Depending on the capacity and infrastructure of the training collaborations, several general practice placements could be undertaken throughout the year.
As of 1st April 2010, PGPPP will be managed by General Practice Education and Training Limited (GPET). For prospective junior doctors who would wish to progress your intention to participate in PGPPP, please go to www.agpt.com.au/PrevocationalTraining/PGPPPHome for further information or contact PGPPP at www.agpt.com.au/PrevocationalTraining/PGPPPContacts.
