| Prevocational Genral Practice Placement Program: |
| The
Pre-Vocational GP Placement Program (PVGPPP) is designed for junior,
hospital based doctors (PGY2-3) and will provide them with the opportunity
to gain exposure to primary health care in RRMA 4-7 locations. Each
placement will be up to 13 weeks in a remote community within the
NT, with one week of orientation prior to placement in the community PVGPPP Doctors will receive high quality training in procedural and other practice skills in a wide range and depth of clinical situations. The remote experience will further enhance learning when the Doctor returns to the parent hospital. |

| • To increase the number of PGY
2-3 doctors participating in a term of rural general practice / rural
community experience. • To provide a high quality learning experience - both clinical and social - in a setting other than a major teaching or provincial hospital. • To provide the experience and to encourage RMO’s to chose General Practice as a speciality. |
| Support to Junior Doctor: |
| • Junior Doctors will have support
available to them via a Medical Educator assigned to the PVGPP
Program and the Program Coordinator based in Darwin, both are contactable
by phone. •Second weekly teleconferences designed for both educational support, mentoring and networking. • One-week orientation provided prior to placement.

at no charge to the Doctor in the community, other than the electricity.
