Performance and progression
The performance and progression of each registrar is discussed regularly by the supervisor, medical educator, training coordinator, external clinical teaching visitors, etc. These discussions serve several purposes:
- planning for a registrar’s learning needs
- tracking progression and development of competency
- early identification of registrars who need additional support.
These discussions may include the registrar, particularly when there is assessment feedback to be given and to plan learning goals.
Progression Review Committee (PRC)
The RACGP’s PRC oversees the progression of all registrars. Its role is to provide support and/or advice on recommendations made by the RACGP local training teams regarding educational support, remediation, and supervision requirements, as well as ongoing review.
All registrar progress is overseen by the PRC for quality assurance purposes. If an RACGP local training team or a supervisor raises concerns about a registrar for any reason, they may seek advice from the PRC. Advice or recommendations from the PRC will be shared with the registrar, generally through their local medical educator.
This process provides registrars with the opportunity to develop a plan to address issues such as training or learning needs to make sure they’re receiving the necessary support to continue to progress through the AGPT Program.
