Rural generalist training

As a rural generalist registrar, at least 52 weeks (FTE) of your general practice training must be completed in an MMM 3–7 location, either in one continuous block or in two six-month terms.

Your rural general practice training must meet the requirements for diversity of practice described under General practice training.

Rural general practice training should also allow you to experience limited access to local specialists and allied health services, and the opportunity to work with GPs providing at least one of the following:

  • emergency/trauma services at the local hospital or similar healthcare facility
  • other procedural and/or non-procedural services at the local hospital or similar healthcare facility
  • after-hours services according to community needs.
