Academic Post Registrar Information
What is an Academic Post?
• An academic post is an AGPT training term in which registrars learn academic skills through individualised learning plans
with mentoring and support from training providers, universities and the Royal Australian College of General
Practitioners.
• The post aims to provide exposure to research and teaching in an academic environment and encourages registrars to
incorporate academic work into their careers. Successful grantees will complete their academic term within a
Department of General Practice, or equivalent, at a university.

Gippsland region in South East Victoria. Our mandate is to improve the health status
of rural communities by developing a sustainable health workforce, and by
undertaking targeted research programs that address priority health problems in rural
populations. We provide undergraduate medical students with an immersive clinical
placement experience in regional hospitals and regional, rural and remote General
Practices. Academic Registrars will have an opportunity to work with experienced
educators to contribute to all levels of medical student teaching. In addition to rural
health research we are keen to contribute to the evidence base in education.
Department of General Practice, Notting Hill

The Department is a leader in primary healthcare education and research in

I was a registrar when I decided to undertake an academic post for my
special skills placement at the Department of General Practice. For me, the
Academic Post as a registrar was a test- of-fit to see if a PhD was for me. It
is a big commitment and I wasn’t sure if I had what it takes! Ultimately, I
really loved the people at the Department of General Practice and was
excited by all the progressive work being done. I think the curiosity itch of
undiscovered knowledge got me over the line to sign up for a PhD and I
couldn’t think of a better place to be studying it in regards to primary care.
