Extended Skills Posts
If you are interested in undertaking a extended skills post please discuss this with your training advisor. If we do not currently have an accredited post in the area you are interested in we will endeavor to facilitate the accreditation of a suitable post.
Current Accredited Extended Skills Post, outside of the hospital system, include:
- Learners as Teachers
Teaching and mentoring are becoming a more common part of the everyday life of a GP:
The decentralisation of general practice education has resulted in general practice teaching and mentoring becoming a real career path for any GP as either a supervisor or a medical educator. General practitioners need to develop education skills as an integral part of their professional repertoire.At NT General Practice Education medical students junior doctors and GPRs are educated and trained using the vertical integration model. There are many opportunities for GPRs to contribute to organisation whilst develop professional skills in teaching and learning through engagement in one or all of these programs.
