Distance education to GP registrars in Australia
Episodes
How is climate change shaping the health of rural and remote communities—and what can GPs do right now to help?
In this episode of RVTS4GP's, we have two excerpts taken from our popular first-year webinar on Men's Health. The presenter is Dr Justin Coleman, a very experienced GP currently working in Brisbane in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. Justin has a vast experience in medical education, including being a co-editor for Murtagh's General Practice.

Filling out certificates seems to constitute an increasing part of a GP's job. The variety and sheer number of different forms to be familiar with can be difficult for GP registrars starting out in General Practice in Australia. Certificate completion requiring a degree of urgency, can occur unexpectedly in the middle of an already busy day. Certificates can be time-consuming and challenging, especially if you are not exactly sure ...
RVTS Medical Educators (MEs) all share a passion for rural, remote, and Aboriginal Medical Services, registrar education, and supporting doctors on their General Practice journey. The ME team was recently interviewed, and each one was asked to identify something that would contribute to registrar success in general practice training in 2021.
The 2021 training year has just begun at RVTS, and we've caught up with Dr Pat Giddings, RVTS CEO, GP and GP Obstetrician, to talk about the year that's been and the year ahead. Dr Giddings shares what he believes makes RVTS successful, and gives his "TOP TIP" for Registrars for 2021.
As we observed NAIDOC Week in November, many RVTS registrars and staff used the opportunity to attend (mainly online) events to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. RVTS Acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands and seas on which we live and work, and pays respect to elders: past, present and future. Events during NAIDOC week r...
"Rational pathology emanates from a rational doctor". Pathology is useful in assisting with coming to a diagnosis, monitoring patients and for screening. Unnecessary tests can cause harm to patients and add significantly to health costs, so considering carefully what pathology we order is vitally important in General Practice.
In this month's post, we listen ...
We've reached May in a year that will certainly go down in history!
It's been a tough year to be a GP in Australia with many challenges indeed!
How are you coping? How are you looking after yourself?
This month, 2 of our RVTS registrars, Leigh-Anne Bingham and Jeni Davila Mendez, discu...
Every registrar I speak to wants to know: What's the trick in passing Fellowship exams. That's a good question - with a complex answer.
It's similar to "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer is "One bite at a time". How do you pass the exams? One step at a time.
We're excited to share this special edition of RVTS4GPs with you, featuring the recording of the recent 2019 RVTS Grand Round "Stump the Chump" with Dr Casey Parker.
The case presented is a 16 year old girl who comes in with her Aunty. Casey is asked to unravel the puzzle.
Welcome to 2019! We're kicking off with one of those tricky subjects in general practice: the overlap of pain and addiction.
As GPs, we aim to relieve pain and minimise harm, but occasionally patients get addicted to medications we prescribe. How can we become part of the solution?
One of the RVTS supervisors, Ian Kamerman,...
About 70 children die of sepsis per year in Australia and New Zealand. It is therefore important to have systems in place for early detection of severe infection. Developing an approach to avoid diagnostic error is an important task for each GP. In this episode, we hear from an RVTS Medical Educator, Taras Mikulin, who looks at a General Practice risk management system for use in Childhood Sepsis. Ta...
Uncertainty in general practice is unavoidable. We deal with uncertainty in more than half of our consults. Coping with the uncertainty is an essential skill for GPs.
This month we again listen in on a webinar about Dealing with Diagnostic Uncertainty with Marlene Pearce, a GP based on the Sunshine Coast, QLD.
This is the final part of a 3 part series, based on the webinar delivered to RVTS registrars by Marlene. In Part 1of 'Uncer...
We were fortunate enough to have Art Nahill and Nik Szecket from IMReasoning join us for our inaugural RVTS Grand Round Webinar for a STC case discussion.
One of our medical educators, Dr Lorri Hopkins, provided the case, and Art and Nic demonstrated their clinical reasoning every st...
We deal with uncertainty every day in general practice. This month, we review 5 cases illustrating various reasons or things that may be contributing to uncertainty in general practice.
In this 3 part series, we listen in on a webinar with Marelene Pearce, a GP based on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. We discuss "Diagnostic uncertainty in General Practice", looking at reasons why there is so much uncertainty in general practice, and how to cope with the uncertainty. In this episode, Part 1, Marelene talks about using clinical reasoning to assist with the dilemma, what to do when we're stuck and what pitfalls to avoid. Sh...
This month, one of our RVTS registrars, Meryl Nicol, talks about how you can use everyday examples from your daily practice to sharpen your clinical reasoning skills in preparation of the KFP exam - or any exam, really.
In this podcast, we listen to recording of a webinar with Marie Rauter, a paediatrician at the Royal Hobart Hospital, who presents a case and discusses the diagnosis of ADHD. Marie highlights the comprehensive assessment we, as GPs, can complete, and she outlines the management options she would consider as a paediatrician.
Recently Marie Rauter, a paediatrician at the Royal Hobart Hospital, presented a webinar to some of our first year registrars on "Developmental Delay". It's a big topic, but an important one for general practice, as we are often in a perfect position to detect developmental delay early and identify the cause, suggest corrective action, or refer for further assessment, services and support. Marie cove...
In this recording, Vishal Arya, an RVTS ME, speaks about access to health care, particularly for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.
