Summary
General practice registrars choose their training practices, with supervisor personality being a key factor. Parents sought practice managers for part-time arrangements, and rural registrars preferred rural training.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- General Practice Training
- Healthcare Workforce Development
Background:
- General practice registrars receive guidance on selecting training practices.
- Limited understanding exists regarding the factors influencing these crucial decisions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the underlying factors influencing general practice registrars' choice of training practices.
- To identify key influencers and decision-making processes in practice selection.
Main Methods:
- A questionnaire survey was administered to registrars within Western Australian General Practice Education and Training (WAGPET) practices.
- The survey collected data on the process and determinants of practice selection.
Main Results:
- The majority of registrars reported actively choosing their training practice.
- Supervisors were the most frequently consulted individuals prior to practice selection.
- Registrars from rural backgrounds were more inclined to complete their entire training in rural settings.
Conclusions:
- Supervisor personality significantly impacts registrar practice choice.
