AMSANT Policy Position: More GPs in MM7 & MM6 - (and Aboriginal community controlled health services in MM5 to MM3)

Execuve summary The purpose of this paper is to provide more detail on the AMSANT strategy to enable Internaonal Medical Graduates (IMGs) to access GP training in the NT and then in other rural and remote areas across Australia. [...] In all cases, IMGs need to be able to access the full resources and support of the GP training program as if they were Australian graduates to give them the greatest chance of success and to ensure they are trained to the required standard as quickly as possible. [...] AMSANT produced a paper of possible policy soluon to the workforce crisis in 2023 and the NT Faculty of the RACGP also wrote a paper addressing the shortage of general praconers with suggesons as what could be done to address this. [...] This should ideally involve training pracces that are under subscribed in remote areas; the pracces are equipped and prepared to take on doctors in training and the supervisors have the skills to determine the competence and needs of the doctors seeking to work in Australia. [...] If you are deemed parally comparable, sit the RACGP Fellowship exams a) Check the Fellowship Exams Policy to see if you have sasfied the educaonal, training, experience and administrave requirements prior to enrolling in the Fellowship exams, to beter ensure exam readiness and success.
