Medical Students

Patrick Street Clinic has long seen teaching and learning as one of its important tasks.  A good teacher is often a good GP and we aim to be both.  Our students help us be more self critical and reflective about what we do.

At any time there is usually one (sometimes two) GP Registrars training at Patrick Street Clinic.  These Doctors are fully qualified, but are undergoing further training under the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners Training Program.  Patrick Street Clinic is a Registered Training Centre for GP Registrars and each Registrar spends approximately six - twelve months here.

Mentor Students
We also are very active in hosting and teaching medical students. We host RAMUS (Rural Australian Medical Undergraduate Scholarship) and John Flynn Scholarship holders and students from the University of Tasmania Rural Undergraduate Clinical Program www.healthsci.utas.edu.au/nwrcs/index.html.
