With the transition to profession-led training and the development of other Fellowship pathways, the ongoing renewal of the RACGP curriculum and the addition of the syllabus are essential to ensure that GP training remains relevant to the ever-changing medical landscape, ensuring our future practitioners meet the health needs of Australian society.

The RACGP is committed to the health and wellbeing of all Australians by providing ongoing support to GPs, general practice registrars, and medical students.

The project team gratefully acknowledges the people, groups and committees that have contributed to the development and review of the curriculum and syllabus.

The RACGP Curriculum and Syllabus for Australian General Practice 2022 (curriculum and syllabus) builds on the strengths of the previous RACGP curriculum and introduces a syllabus for general practice training.

The focus of the curriculum and syllabus is on describing the core competencies and outcomes for the GP at the point of Fellowship.

A theoretical framework was used to ground the curriculum and syllabus template development. An understanding of the relevant theories is necessary to ensure the development of appropriate instructional strategies within the GP context and environment of learning.
