gp-start has been specifically developed in conjunction with senior GP Training Supervisors. It focuses on a range of topics you'll need to be familiar with to operate within a general practice, including the diagnosis and management of common clinical problems in patients and practical elements such as the business of general practice, the general practice consultation and worker's compensation.
A range of online evaluation tools and feedback mechanisms are also provided to ensure the program constantly evolves and grows.
gp-start provides you with the knowledge and medical skills to give you the best start in your new, exciting career in general practice.
We have identified Key Clinical Activities which are linked to learning outcomes and the training curriculum of both the RACGP and ACRRM. This structure allows you to incorporate systematic learning into your daily work and by working through these activities over six months of basic training you will set yourself up for advanced training and the fellowship exam.
If you want the best start, the best knowledge and the best skills, if you want to learn as efficiently as you can, then gp-start is the program for you.
"The experience I gained working as a rural GP registrar is invaluable. gp-start made transition from hospital to community based practice much easier, I would recommend it to any basic term registrar".
