NFC: Creative Careers in General Practice - Session 2

'Creative careers in general practice' is a partnered webinar series with the New Fellows Committee. The webinar will showcase the diverse pursuits of RACGP Fellows, with Q&A with presenters.

Anecdotally, many new fellows report settling into their practice and thinking "what next". There are many paths and opportunities that open when one obtains their FRACGP but as a new fellow, it can be hard to know where to start.

This webinar series aims to showcase the pursuits of some RACGP fellows and to inspire participants to think about how they can diversify their own GP careers, to maximise their job satisfaction and professional fulfilment. The Q&A format will enable participants to ask questions that they might not be able to find answers to in other forums.

Date: Wednesday 24th May 2023
Time: 7:00 - 8:00pm AEST
Venue: Online Zoom webinar
Cost: Free

This content is approved for 1 EA CPD hour for the 2023-202
