GPRA pathway

Are you a medical student?

Then you've come to the right place! The General Practice Students Network (GPSN) is the first stage on the GPRA continuum. The campus-based network offers medical students early exposure to general practice through fun activities including clinical workshops, educational presentations and social events. It also provides a scholarship that allows medical students to experience general practice early in their studies – the GPSN First Wave Scholarship Program.

Are you a prevocational doctor?

The Going Places Network addresses the difficulties general practice has in reaching prevocational doctors in the hospital system by providing a single, clearly identifiable source of access, information and career advice about general practice.

Are you a GP registrar?

General Practice Registrars Australia (GPRA) represents GP registrars across Australia, advocating for them on issues relating to education and training. GPRA also produces resources to support GP registrars throughout their training.
