Yagila Wadamba Program and IGPRN Workshop


Last updated 6 July 2023

Yagila Wadamba Program

A crucial focus for the RACGP is to develop the 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce to assist in closing the gap between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians’ and non-Indigenous Australians’ health outcomes.

As part of this commitment, RACGP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health developed the Yagila Wadamba Program (meaning ‘learn to heal’), an annual support program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GP Registrars.

Delivered annually, the program concentrates on exam preparation and other key areas of GP training. Participants are able to network with their peers in a friendly and welcoming environment, while also taking advantage of the opportunity to hear and learn from medical educators and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GP Fellows.

Attendees are supported to not only perform at their best in the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) and Key Feature Problem (KFP) exams, but to thrive throughout their GP training journey.


Key Feature Problem (KFP) and Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) exam preparation: face-to-face workshops on the 21st – 22nd September 2023 in Brisbane. Over the two days there will be small sessions held.

The RACGP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander faculty will be delivering Key Feature Problem (KFP) and Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) exam preparation workshop for those sitting the 2024.1 or planning to sit the 2024.2 AKT and KFP exams.

Delivered by Dr Gary Butler, National Clinical Lead, Assessments and, Penelope McSweeney GP National Assessment Advisor – AKT, the sessions will discuss different KFP and AKT case scenarios in a interactive and safe workshop.

IGPRN Workshop

IGPRN will also be hosting their face-to-face workshop adjacent to our Yagila Wadamba exam preparation workshop from 23rd – 25th September in Brisbane. We have co-ordinated the timing and location so that you can attend both!

This IGPRN workshop will include medical education sessions on clinical reasoning, , and planning learning, Medicare and focussed psychological therapies.  We will have our usual mock StAMPS and mock CCE giving you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the style of these clinical exams and explore any performance anxieties you might have well before the real thing. There will be updates from both ACRRM and RACGP on their training programs and transition to college lead training.

IGPRN workshops are a great way to network with college representatives and our IGPRN Fellows who come along to mentor, support and teach. There will be social and cultural activities to help us connect to each other and to country.
