Fellowship Support Program Registrar handbook
Induction to the FSP
Last revised: 21 Mar 2025
Recognition of prior learning and experience (RPLE) will only be considered in certain circumstances. You can choose to apply if you have previously voluntarily withdrawn from the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) Program via the RACGP or the Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS). If you've withdrawn from other training programs such as the Practice Experience Program (PEP), More Doctors for Rural Australia Program (MDRAP) or Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) pathways you would not be considered eligible. If you're unsure, please contact us to discuss your individual circumstances.
RPLE is relevant training that can meet some of your education and training requirements in the FSP. If eligible, we'll offer you RPLE which can reduce your total program time.
RPLE is available as credit for a total of six months of the FSP, shortening your education and training phase from 24 months to 18 months (a maximum of 26 calendar weeks). Your determined program length remains the same whether you are working part-time or full-time in general practice. However, if you are working part-time, it may take you longer to meet exam and Fellowship eligibility requirements.
Please refer to the RPLE registrar guide for further details on:
