About GPSN – the General Practice Students Network

The General Practice Students Network (GPSN) is a national student-run organisation using a peer-to-peer marketing model that seeks to foster interest in general practice and promote it as a specialty of choice. There are active GPSN clubs in medical schools at all 20 university campuses across Australia.

GPSN offers programs focused on exposing medical students to the inspiring diversity of a career in general practice. Activities include fun clinical skill sessions, social events, seminars and conferences, peer support and networking opportunities.

There is also a scholarship program – the GPSN First Wave Scholarship – that gives medical students early real-world exposure to general practice and GP mentors.

GPSN is administered by General Practice Registrars Australia (GPRA) and is supported by a funding grant from General Practice Education and Training (GPET).
