Table Summarising Mandatory GP Training Requirements

Year of GP Training	Options over the 12 month training year
Year 1	4 hospital / core clinical training units*
Year 2	2 GPT1 / PRRT 1 units, 2 GPT2 / PRRT2 units
Year 3	2 GPT3 / PRRT3, 2 GPT4/PRRT4 (or a 6 month extended skills post**)
Optional Year 4	4 Advanced Rural Skills post / 4 Advanced Specialised Training units*

* Recognition of prior learning is available for Registrars who complete their mandatory hospital terms prior to entering the GP training program.

** These units can be undertaken at point during your training after you have completion of the mandatory hospital terms

Requirements of a GPT1 / PRRT1 Term

• Formulation of a learning plan, which is reviewed with the Trainer.
• Participation in 3 hours per week of regular educational activities-direct observation and discussion with the Trainer: random case review and medical record review-observation of the supervisor’s consultations, clinical meetings etc.
• Participation in GP Term release programs to the equivalent of one session per week.
• Two external clinical teaching visits (one visit per 3 month term) to review the GP Registrar’s consultations by direct observation and discussion and/or video/audio taping and debriefing.
• Completion of GP Start
• Satisfactory completion of GPT1 / PRRT1 training is a prerequisite to moving to GPT2 / PRRT2 or other permissible training.

Requirements of a GPT2 / PRRT2Term

• Early review of learning objectives as per GPT2 / PRRT2 Term.
• Participation in organised educational activities including one-and-a-half hours per week of regular educational activities with the Trainer.
• A half-day release from the practice per fortnight or equivalent for educational purposes.
• Two external clinical teaching visits to review the GP Registrar’s consultations by direct observation and discussion, one of which must be a video review of consultations.

Requirements of a GPT3-4 / PRRT3-4 Term

• A Level 2 registrar has to complete one external clinical teaching visit.
• Other requirements include the formulation of a learning plan in consultation with the Trainer and participation in educational activities.
• Sitting the RACGP Exams and or the ACRRM Assessments

Curriculum Requirements

There are a number of compulsory curriculum requirements, which must be completed by Registrars to satisfy their training requirements. These requirements include:

• The learning requirements of the Aboriginal Health Curriculum Statement
• Training in Advanced Life Support (as part of the acute and traumatic conditions curriculum statement)
• Paediatric training in general practice.

Registrars should note that the other curriculum statements in both the RACGP and ACRRM Training Program Curriculum provide a guide to the assessment requirements.

Training Review

Each Registrar is required to meet for up to an hour with Training Program staff, at least twice a year to review achievement of learning plans, review feedback reports, identify new learning goals and strategies and review their log book.
