2. Medical education program stream at GP24 - claim up to eight hours of SPD!
The RACGP GP training team is coordinating a medical education stream at GP24, taking place in Perth from 21-23 November. Consisting of eight workshops, the stream will focus on training and supervision, with topics including narrative supervision, small group learning facilitation, case writing and registrar support.
Accredited supervisors can claim up to eight hours of attendance as part of their supervisor professional development requirements, as well as earning CPD hours. Full program details are available on the GP24 website.
3. September Self-Assessment Progress Test is now available via gplearning
The September Self-Assessment Progress Test (SAPT) is now available to support your registrar’s learning and exam preparation. SAPTs include questions from previous RACGP exam papers and are a useful tool to self-assess clinical reasoning. Once the test is complete, you can access the answers and rationale, as well as resources for that topic, curriculum links and suggestions for further study.
As a supervisor, you can also complete a SAPT for your professional development. This can be particularly useful as a refresher on exam question format and exam technique. Any time you spend on a SAPT can be self-logged as CPD hours.
4. Training intention update and training site capacity update open until 7 October
The RACGP has reminded registrars and practice managers to complete their training intention and training capacity update in the training management by Monday 7 October. Further key dates for the 2025.1 placement process can be found here.
