AGPT registrar training handbook
Training program requirements
Last revised: 19 Dec 2024
Generally, the first year (12 months FTE) of the AGPT program is spent working in a hospital gaining valuable experience in a range of clinical disciplines relevant to general practice. This will give you a foundation for general practice training and an understanding of the integration of primary and secondary levels of care.
Hospital training can be done at any accredited hospital in Australia or New Zealand (not necessarily in your allocated training region). Although you won’t yet be working in general practice, this is an important part of your journey to Fellowship. We'll run educational workshops and recommend online modules to complete during your hospital training. These will help you stay in touch with general practice. Your TC and ME will also be available to support you throughout this stage of your training.
It's your responsibility to make placement arrangements for the hospital year and notify your TC and ME of the hospital term(s) you plan to complete. For more information, refer to the section on Assessment of readiness for general practice.
If you already have more than one year of hospital training experience (after completing your intern year – PGY1), you may be eligible for RPLE. See the section on Am I eligible to apply for RPLE? for more information. If you’re an ADF registrar, we strongly recommend you focus on gaining paediatric, adolescent, antenatal, geriatric, chronic disease and multimorbidity experiences where possible during hospital training, as these clinical experiences will be limited in further stages of training due to your ADF commitments.
