GP Rural Generalist Pathway
The concept is to develop a pathway visible to those who are still within the clinical training years at Medical School, especially those associated with Deakin University, taking them through the prevocational years (Intern and Postgraduate Year 2) into a choice of targeted skills training in their third or subsequent postgraduate years on their path to specific training within the general practice environment in the Barwon South West Region or other areas covered by Southern GP Training. Targeted skills training in the third or subsequent postgraduate year would be in the fields of Obstetrics (Advanced Diploma), JCCC Anaesthetics, Critical Care (ICU and or Emergency Medicine), Surgery or Community Paediatrics. The pathway involves 5 years of training 3 years with Barwon Health and two years with Southern GP Training. Successful applicants for this pathway must exhibit a genuine interest in undertaking a career in rural general practice, preferably within the Barwon South West Region of Victoria. Applicants who have undertaken their medical training at Deakin Medical School or one of the other Victorian Medical Rural Clinical Schools are prefered. As 2013 will be the first year of the program applicants to fill five intern, five HMO2 General Stream, one JCC Anaesthetic (must be at least PGY3), one Advanced Diploma in Obstretics (must be at least PGY3) , one joint ICU/Emergency Medicine post (must be at least PGY3) , one surgical skills post (must be at least PGY3) and one community paeditraics post (must be at least PGY4 with at least one term of GP training) are being sought.
