Our curriculum ensures that registrars develop competencies, knowledge, skills and attributes to prepare them to work as general practitioner in any location in Australia and to prepare them to be rural generalists.

A rural generalist is a general practitioner who has specific expertise in providing medical care for rural and remote communities. A rural generalist understands and responds to the diverse needs of Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and other rural communities; this includes applying a population approach, providing safe primary, secondary and emergency care as required and providing specialised medical care in at least one additional discipline.

The Primary Curriculum applies to all registrars and registrars chose from one of twelve disciplines for Advanced Specialised Curricula.
