Intellectual content - General Practice Specialty Training Program
Filed in: Specialty Profiles » General Practice »
The intellectual basis of general practice includes an enormous breadth of biomedical knowledge, as well as the psychological and sociocultural aspects of disease. GPs are expected to have some knowledge in all areas of medicine, but to know their limits, rather than to be experts within a particular field. The RACGP launched its new curriculum in 2007 that includes guidance for medical students on how best to prepare for a career in general practice, or at least how to better understand general practice if another specialty is chosen. It’s available at www.racgp.org.au/curriculum.
