Medical Educators

The role of medical educators is to help GP registrars achieve the stated learning objectives of the program. As experienced and practising GPs they have a unique mix of educational and practical knowledge in the general practice environment. Medical educators liaise with GP supervisors, organise and conduct external education activities and provide advice and support to GP registrars. They act as training advisers to individual GP registrars and perform external clinical teaching (ECT) visits and 6 monthly Learning Plan meetings. Additionally they provide teacher training and support for GP supervisors.

An experienced GPTT medical educator is nominated as the point of contact for each GP registrar during training. This 'designated medical educator' provides overall advice and guidance to each GP registrar about their learning needs, plans and goals and the training and educational activities they should undertake.

The designated medical educator approves the initial learning plan and ensures that it is reviewed and updated at least each semester. They also review the GP registrar learning plan and learning portfolio at the end of training as the basis for determining satisfactory completion of education and training requirements.
