Key studies and insights

• ECTVs are engaging and useful, but there are still areas needing improvement. View the research by Morgan and Toukhsati.
• Providing IMGs with suitable resources, training and connection helps them move into rural communities and become rural GPs. View the roadmap by Professor Belinda O'Sullivan and partners Monash University and GPSA.
• Solutions to maximise GP Supervisor wellbeing can help to ensure a sustainable medical education workforce. View the study by Prentice et al.
• A tool developed to assess the General Practice Clinical Learning Environment (GPCLE) provides rich information and offers an opportunity for reflection and continuous improvement. View the research by Toukhsati et al and the GPCLE Framework.
