Specialist training for general practice aims to produce GPs who, on completion of training, will be able to provide personal and continuing care to individuals and families in the community.
General practice training is in the main four years in duration. The first two years are spent primarily in hospital settings, with third and fourth year in supervised general practice.
For those undertaking the recognition of prior learning (RPL) pathway, general practice training is shortened, depending on the RPL pathway. Trainees with RPL Medicine or Emergency Medicine complete 3 year training. Trainees with RPL Paediatrics compete 3.6 or 3.8 months training.
