Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Rural Health
  • General Practice Training

Background:

  • The Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) facilitates training for General Practice (GP) registrars in solo rural or remote practice.
  • Registrars select experienced rural/remote practitioners as their distant supervisors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the unique aspects of the RVTS model for training GPs in remote settings.
  • To identify effective strategies for distance supervision in general practice training.

Main Methods:

  • A telephone tutorial series for RVTS general practice supervisors was conducted.
  • Supervisors discussed unique training features and effective distance supervision techniques.

Main Results:

  • The paper details the distinct qualities of registrars, the registrar-supervisor relationship, and tutorial content within remote supervision.
  • Strategies for providing educational support across geographical distances are proposed.

Conclusions:

  • Experienced rural and remote GPs can provide effective distance supervision.
  • The RVTS offers an innovative alternative for training GPs for rural and remote practice.
  • Further qualitative research is recommended to enhance understanding of this training model.
