GP Registrar Training Practice:
Training the Next Generation of General Practitioners
Family Health Clinic is proud to be an accredited GP Training Practice, playing an important role in developing the next generation of Specialist General Practitioners.
For many years, our Practice Principal, Dr Mohammed Iqbal Sultan, has been an accredited GP Supervisor and mentor, guiding doctors through their specialist General Practice training. During this time, more than 40 doctors have successfully achieved Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP) while training under our supervision.
Training future GPs is a privilege and an investment in the future of Australian healthcare. Our registrars work closely with our experienced doctors, providing high-quality, supervised care while continually developing their clinical knowledge and skills. We also acknowledge our very understanding patients for being a part of the Doctor's journey to Fellowship.
Why do our Registrars change?
Many patients ask why they sometimes need to change doctors after developing a relationship with a GP Registrar.
The Australian General Practice training program requires registrars to undertake placements at different accredited training practices. This allows them to gain experience with diverse patient populations, different communities, and a broad range of clinical presentations. As a result, registrars generally remain at our clinic for around 12 months before continuing their training at another practice.
While we understand that these changes can be disappointing for patients, this rotation is a mandatory part of the national GP training program and is outside the clinic's control.
Supporting our Registrars' Success
After completing their specialist training, many of our registrars choose to establish their careers in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, or other communities throughout Queensland, often for personal or family reasons.
Although we are always sorry to see them leave, we take great pride in their achievements and the contribution they go on to make to healthcare across Australia.
We congratulate all of our former registrars on becoming Specialist General Practitioners and wish them every success in their future careers.
At Family Health Clinic, we remain committed to providing exceptional patient care while helping shape the future of General Practice through education, mentorship, and excellence in training.
