Let’s get you started

When you applied for entry into PEP SP, you were assessed as partially comparable to an Australian trained specialist general practitioner at the point of admission to Fellowship. This means that you’re now about to start your PEP SP journey on the partially comparable (PC) stream.
PEP SP on the PC stream is a self-directed, workplace-based program. You’ll spend a minimum of six months in comprehensive Australian general practice, during which you’ll work under supervision and complete targeted educational activities to enable your successful transition to the Australian general practice system. After you’ve completed the training program, you’ll be required to sit the RACGP Fellowship exams to demonstrate that you’ve reached comparability with an Australian trained specialist general practitioner (GP) commencing practice (ie at the level of a new Fellow of the RACGP).
Once you’ve successfully completed PEP SP and met the requirements for Fellowship of the RACGP (FRACGP), you’ll be eligible for admission to FRACGP and for specialist medical registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra). You’ll be required to keep working under supervision until you’re admitted to FRACGP.
