Assessment of placement

Assessment of placement

You'll be required to complete an assessment of placement by the end each training semester to give feedback on your placement for quality and continuous improvement purposes. At week 20 of each semester, you'll be provided with a prompt from the TMS to complete an assessment of placement form.

• For general practice placements, the form is integrated in the TMS.
• For Extended Skills placements in a non general practice setting, ARST and Core EMT placements, there are separate PDF forms to be completed. 

Training sites are encouraged to be open to registrar feedback and to implement any potential improvements in the learning environment based on your insights. We encourage you to engage in discussions with your supervisor and training site, sharing reflections on what’s going well and what could be improved, but acknowledge that sometimes this might not be possible. There is a section in the form which isn’t visible to the supervisor or training site staff for this feedback.

MEs thoroughly review all assessments of placement, addressing any concerns directly with you where necessary. Your feedback will be utilised:

• by your ME to determine if the training environment is appropriate to your needs.
• by the training site and supervisor to continuously improve their learning environment.
• by the RACGP as collated registrar feedback on placements for ongoing accreditation of training sites.
• by the RACGP as overall de-identified data to evaluate the training program.
