Advanced specialist GP training

[imgyg]

Hi all,

Doctors undergoing rural GP training with ACRRM have to do a year of advanced specialist GP training. Do you guys know if this training has to be done in a rural area too?

Do you not want to be in a rural area?
Have you called ACRRM? Call ACRRM, try skype if out of country.

No, for most of the procedural skills the training is done in regional centres. This incluses ED, O&G, anaesthetics, and surgery. Some advanced skills years that are NOT procedural are done rural (e.g. Aboriginal health, public health), while others that require a larger pt population and regional resources (e.g., paediatrics, internal medicine) are not.
