Specialist pathway overview

On-demand recorded 2 May 2023

The Specialist pathway is for overseas-trained specialist GPs who wish to be assessed for comparability to the standard of an Australian-trained specialist GP. 

The RACGP is the specialist medical college for general practice and you will need to apply to the RACGP for a comparability assessment to determine if you are eligible for this pathway. This assessment will consider your specialist general practice qualification, the nature of the training, methods of previous assessment, general practice experience, continuing professional development (CPD) and continuity of practice. 

In this session, you will have the opportunity to ask your questions about the Specialist Pathway and the steps involved.

This event is part of International Medical Graduate Q & A series. Events in this series are:
