I get asked a lot about working as a GP. I believe the best part about it is thevariety of medicine that walks in the door every day. Every day is differentand full of surprises. It is a bit like when you decide to order the tastingplatter or try a different dish in your favourite restaurant. How exciting.Rural GP adds an additional challenge. I think there is a misconceptionthat rural GPs work in isolation and in difficult workplace environments.Instead, my experience has been quite the opposite. I get extensive supportfrom colleagues and specialists who provide on-call advice and regulareducation. A lot of complex medical cases are also co-managed betweenspecialists and GPs, which keeps the job interesting while still beingsupported. There’s always the feeling of working in a team in rural GP.So if you are a part-time adventurer, a person who likes ordering the tastingplatter or new dishes or someone who likes a challenge, try GP or Rural GP.Dr James Wong—FRACGPEvery day is different and full of surprisesdGENERAL PRACTICE TRAINING IN AUSTRALIA: THE GUIDE
This Guide provides an overview of generalpractice training in Australia. It aims to help youdecide on a career in general practice and provideinformation on the high quality training available.In Australia, consultations with a GeneralPractitioner (GP) take place every day, mostlywithin a practice or a patient’s home. As a GP,you have the opportunity to treat patients froma variety of backgrounds and across all ages.Seeing patients through all stages of illness isintellectually challenging, and providing careand support through the highs and lows ofsomeone’s life can give immense job satisfaction.Balancing a patient’s treatment alongsidetheir general health, independence and socialcare can be complex and challenging, but alsorewarding as a GP. The ongoing relationship thatGPs are able to establish with their patients, andthrough this, continuity of care for a patient, isan important and enjoyable aspect of the job.GPs have an important role to play in themanagement of acute care, chronic diseasesand the treatment of patients with multiplehealth conditions, particularly in Australia’sageing population. They can work as part oflarge multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) who allsupport the holistic care of any patient—thesecan include nurses, midwives, pharmacists,psychiatrists, geriatric specialists and allied healthprofessionals. GPs can also work as part of teamsattached to hospitals with roles in accident andemergency centres and in nursing care homes.Another important part of the work of a GP ispreventative medicine and health promotion.This can include clinics for child immunisationsand smoking cessation through to guidingpatients on lifestyle modification strategies.For almost every avenue of medicine you wouldlike to pursue, general practice can provide youwith an exciting and rewarding career.WHAT IS GENERAL PRACTICE?In Australia, GPs plays acentral role in the delivery ofhealth care to the Australiancommunity.GPs are usually the first pointof contact within the healthcare system. They treat allcommon medical conditions,coordinate the care of patientsand refer patients to othermedical specialists.GPs focus on the health ofthe whole person, combiningphysical, psychological andsocial aspects of care forindividuals and families intheir communities and take onan advocacy role for patientswhen needed.GPs manage medicalconditions and pathologies,both acute and chronic. Theyprovide advice and educationon health care and well-being,employ disease preventionstrategies, and work withother professionals in theprimary care setting.GPs are primarily responsiblefor providing comprehensiveand continuing care to everyindividual seeking medicalcare irrespective of age,gender and illness.GPs have a person-centredapproach and aone-on-one consultationprocess that establisheseffective communicationbetween doctor and patient.GENERAL PRACTICE TRAINING IN AUSTRALIA: THE GUIDE1
General Practitioner—an important role inthe communityBecoming a GP is a great choice if youwant to be part of a community and makea difference in people’s lives. Each dayGPs investigate and analyse how cultural,biological, psychological, and sociologicalcircumstances affect people’s healthand experience of disease.

Choosing the right path will dependon your interests and circumstances. In eachpathway you will need to work in general practice,work or have recent experience in hospitals,attend educational workshops, teaching sessionsand put in significant amounts of personal study.Both colleges require GPs to have experienceworking in general practice and hospitalspecialties relevant to general practice. Theremay also be geographic limitations on whereyou can work as a general practice registrar.To qualify for Fellowship you have to completethe requirements and pass the Fellowshipassessments of the relevant college.There are different pathways to achievingFellowship.

After completing multiple rural placementsthroughout my physiotherapy degree and living inAlbury on and off for 7 years, I fell in love with thecountry. I fell in love with the people, the community,the teamwork involving multiple different healthprofessionals and disciplines, working to improvepatient centred care and ultimately the health of thewhole community.After working a year in Sydney as a Physiotherapist,I knew I wanted to live and work in rural and remoteAustralia. I started looking for jobs where I couldwork in predominantly Aboriginal communitiesin remote locations, and I was disappointed therewas not much work in the allied health sector. So, Idecided I could try to promote allied health by beinga doctor, working in the area, promoting it amongcolleagues as well as policy makers, and governmentstakeholders.When I first heard of ACRRM I pretty much knewit was the pathway for me as I wanted to pursuework in rural and remote areas. I considered othermedical specialties but always came back to onequestion, where can I have the greatest impact on mycommunity? I figured if I love doing everything, thenbeing a generalist would be the perfect job for me.As a rural generalist I love that every week I seeyoung babies through to elderly people, I have theprivilege to help someone through their pregnancy,the most difficult moments in their life in mentalhealth, as well as doing some minor procedures.There is always something new each week withrural general practice being so broad. I find it a realprivilege to listen to the stories of where people comefrom and how they got to that moment in my room.Dr Danielle Dries—ACRRMDr Danielle Dries is a Kaurna Aboriginal womanfrom South Australia6GENERAL PRACTICE TRAINING IN AUSTRALIA: THE GUIDE

The Australian General Practice Training(AGPT) ProgramGeneral practice training is undertaken in anapprenticeship model where you train as aGP under the supervision of an experiencedsupervisor. Clinical experience is the bestteacher and you are expected to learn asmuch as you can from the patients you seeand other professionals around you. Thispractice-based learning is supplemented andconsolidated through discussions with yourgeneral practice supervisor, teaching visitsfrom medical educators, workshops with yourpeers, and personal study.Regional Training Organisations (RTOs)The Department of Health contracts nine RTOsto deliver the AGPT program across the11 training regions according to standards setby the colleges.The role of each RTO includes:dddddd8supporting and advising registrars about thetraining programs and requirements;working with each registrar to plan theirtraining and learning;allowing goals, aspirations and needs to beidentified and reviewed;supporting and accrediting general practices,supervisors, Aboriginal Medical Services, andother medical facilities within their region totrain registrars;managing the allocation and placement ofregistrars to undertake their training withinthese accredited facilities;dddproviding educational training activitiesand resources which map to the collegecurricula, maximise the learning possibilitiesfor registrars and encourage additionalopportunities for application/consolidation ofknowledge;integrating general practice trainingwith other educational and professionalorganisations, such as universities, PrimaryHealth Networks and Rural WorkforceAgencies to ensure future GPs have the skillsto meet community needs; andinformation management, data collection/collation and reporting of Commonwealthfunded GP training places.Preferred location for trainingWhen applying for the AGPT program, doctorsrequest a preferred region(s) where theywish to train. Doctors should consider howthe opportunities available in each regionmatch their individual interests and learningrequirements.AGPT Training RegionsIndividual general practice training experiencesvary across training locations and regions.

Turning the tide on islander health concernsThe first-year General Practice (GP) registrar is relishing thechallenge of managing the complex health needs of Torres StraitIslander communities, while pursuing research into tropical diseases.“We know that health outcomes for Indigenous people in the TorresStrait are poorer than their non-Indigenous counterparts” said DrHempenstall, who is enrolled in James Cook University’s (JCU)GP training program.“Here, we also care for patients from Papua New Guinea (PNG).There is no other community in Australia that borders anothercountry, let alone a developing country.”Dr Hempenstall divides her time between the Thursday IslandHospital and the primary healthcare centre on the island.When on call, she cares for patients in the hospital ward andemergency department, and also responds to requests for medicalassistance from outer islands across the Torres Strait.“We are really lucky that we live in an age where telehealth hascome so far,” she observed.“I can be sitting in an office on Thursday Island, making plansfor a patient via video conference with nursing staff and healthworkers at a primary health centre on another island. If thepatient is unwell enough to require transfer to Thursday IslandHospital, we organise a retrieval via helicopter or boat.”Most of Dr Hempenstall’s work revolves around chronic diseasemanagement.She is keen to expand her knowledge and understanding of thesediseases through research in her community.“Historically this region hasn’t had much locally driven research;we are hoping to establish sustainable local research, relevant tothe community here,” she said.In the meantime, Dr Hempenstall is pursuing another project close toher heart—encouraging Thursday Island school students to consider acareer in healthcare. The doctor is liaising with local school teachers,and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nursing and allied healthstaff, to organise a retrieval via helicopter or boat.”“I am so privileged to be immersed in such a unique culture,providing care to a warm and welcoming community,” she said.Dr Allison Hempenstall—FACRRM10GENERAL PRACTICE TRAINING IN AUSTRALIA: THE GUIDE

The AGPT program has two training pathways: the Rural Pathway and the General Pathway.Rural PathwayThe Rural Pathway encompasses a largepercentage of Australia reaching from townson the fringe of capital cities, to regionalcoastal areas and remote outback locations.This pathway offers a range of benefits andopportunities commensurate with the work ofrural general practice, for example:dddddddaccess to specialist training such as mentalhealth, addiction medicine, paediatrics,anaesthetics, surgery and obstetrics;opportunity to develop and consolidate anextended scope of practice working moreclosely with local communities;hospital and community-based primary care;contributing to addressing the health needsof communities with decreased access tohealth care;working alongside retrieval medicineteams;ddaccess to specialist training such as mentalhealth, addiction medicine, paediatrics,anaesthetics, surgery and obstetrics; andaccess to mentors and professionalrelationships.AGPT registrars on the General Pathway mustundertake twelve months of their training in aprescribed location.Some RTOs may have restrictions on wheresome General Pathway registrars are able totrain. Please clarify with your RTO (page 38)if you are wishing to train outside of an MM1(page 34).For further information see the AGPT ProgramPolicies at agpt.com.auaccess to mentors and professionalrelationships which may not bepossible in metropolitan areas;increased earning capacity—possibleaccess to financial incentives not available inmetropolitan locations; andbeing immersed into local communities andlifestyle benefits of country living.Doctors who apply for the Rural Pathway canenrol with either of the colleges Fellowshiptraining or both.

As GPs, you choose how you want topractise, to be the kind ofdoctor you want to be.16GENERAL PRACTICE TRAINING IN AUSTRALIA: THE GUIDE
General practice is a multi-faceted, dynamic andflexible career path, which gives practitioners thechance to truly choose exactly how they wish topractise as a doctor. The coveted work-life balancethat time-poor doctors so often find elusive, thevariability in skill sets and knowledge that a GPcan tap into to uniquely serve their community,and the diversity in patient populations thatGPs have access to treating. Having that balanceis critical to enjoying our work in healthcareas doctors. The flexibility is found in havingthe opportunity to, say, work a couple of daysin a GP practice, dabble in a sub-specialty suchas anaesthetics or occupational health, andthen perhaps working an after-hours run doinghome visits, or a stretch helping out in the localemergency department. As GPs, you choose howyou want to practise, to be the kind of doctor youwant to be.Without a doubt, what I have come to love mostabout being a GP, are my patients and theirindividual stories and journeys in understandingand improving their health. It is a constantlyevolving, and complete patient-doctor relationshipthat does not come to an abrupt halt or ismanifestly disjointed like care often is in a hospitalor specialist setting. When in the hospital orspecialist clinic, you are left wondering whathappened to Mrs. Smith after her hip was replaced,or Mr. Jones after his triple bypass. In primarypractice, you can complete all the puzzles andanswer all the questions. The satisfaction ofappreciating the impact as a GP, your advice andexpertise has in guiding a patient through thechallenges they
