YourGP is a teaching practice. Third year medical students from the ANU sit in with our GPs. We host one student in the practice for six week rotations, six times each year. Medical students appreciate participating in your care. We consider patients an important part of the teaching team. If your GP has a medical student you will be advised. You may decline to have a medical student present during your consultation.

We also teach and provide supervision to GP registrars. A registrar is a fully qualified doctor who is undertaking further training in General Practice. Registrars have several years postgraduate experience in the hospital system. General practice training involves two years of work under a GP supervisor. Registrars are required to sit the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners fellowship exams.

We appreciate any suggestions about how to improve our service.
