Advanced skills in general practice are becoming a priority for the profession, commonwealth and state governments, and Australian communities. The Master of Medicine (General Practice) identifies key areas for advanced skilling in primary care, and provides students with practical knowledge and skills in the content areas, as well as quality assurance and research skills to support life-long learning.

“In 2007, I completed the ophthalmology module (GENP7006), and greatly enhanced my skills, knowledge and confidence across the spectrum of GP eye presentations - from children with squints to the elderly with glaucoma and cataracts. The combination of my new skills and my practice's retinal camera resulted in a 80% drop in our referral rate to the local ophthalmology outpatients clinic - satisfying for me as a clinician and great for my patients. The course is on-line, so I could do it in small chunks which was the only feasible option for a busy clinician with significant family commitments. It well organised and I would recommend it without hesitation.”

“I honestly enjoyed it.  This flexible program with strong practice based focus is assisting me to become more competent and confident in an isolated situation like a solo practice in Mt Morgan.”
