Convention themes
The 2012 Convention theme is 'Mining for gold in general practice education'. Three underlying sub-themes will structure and stream the Convention program. The sub-themes are:
- eTraining and eHealth – incorporating models of eEducation, including distance education, and the use of technology and social media, for example: You Tube, Twitter, Tablets; electronic delivery of patient care; and the future ePractice.
- Accessibility and social inclusion – incorporating registrar and junior doctor accessibility to training; accessibility of OTDs to education, training and support; and training within and for the care of potentially marginalised groups, for example: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, refugees, prisoners and the homeless.
- A day in the life of… a registrar, a junior doctor, a supervisor, an educator, an RTP staff member, a patient, an OTD, an Aboriginal doctor, a Torres Strait Islander doctor, a mentor, a practice manager – what is your experience in GP training, what are your challenges and opportunities, what are your solutions?
