Outer Metropolitan Specialist Training Program
Developing specialist training placements in private practice
The Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, has
offered funding to the College to develop and implement specialist training
placements in private practice as part of its Outer Metropolitan Specialist
Training Program.
The primary objectives of the project will be to:
-
develop an appropriate model that will allow the placement of specialist
Trainees in outer metropolitan private practices; and
-
arrange the placement of specialist Trainees in outer metropolitan private
practices from early 2004 with a minimum of ten placements implemented
by July 2004.
While the administration of the project will be undertaken by
the Finance Department of the College, the Regional Training Committees will
be required to assist in the following areas:
1. Identification of placements
(a) The identification of placements and locations. These placements
should ideally be located in an outer metropolitan area. Placements in practices
that are accessed by outer metropolitan communities may be approved, with prior
agreement by the DHA.
(b) The matching of the needs of the Trainee with experience available in the
placements. Programs for each Trainee placed are to be negotiated between the
host specialist, the Trainee and the Trainee's College program supervisor (eg,
the chairman of a regional T&A Committee, an ITP co-ordinator, or another
College accredited nominee).
2. Supervision and training
The Regional Training Committee will be required to oversee:
(a) the recruitment of Trainees and supervisors; and
(b) the accreditation of practices for training purposes and the
approval of supervisors, to ensure Trainees are gaining appropriate training
opportunities.
Funds available under the project include a one-off payment of
$A3000 to the participating practice, a one-off payment of $A1000 to the participating
specialist Trainee and a reimbursement to the Trainee's hospital to cover the
Trainee’s salary for the time he/she is participating in the scheme. This
reimbursement will be adjusted by Medicare refunds which will be redirected
to the hospital.

Specialists Re-entry Program
SREP - a Department of Health & Ageing initiative
As part of MedicarePlus, the Australian Government's Department
of Health and Ageing invites all specialists (who are either interested in joining
a new practice or seeking a new practice partner) to participate in a new Specialists
Re-entry Program (SREP) that will assist Fellows of specialist colleges who
have taken a break from work and wish to re-enter the medical workforce. Such
specialists may include doctors who have left the workforce for family or health
reasons or desire a return to clinical practice after working in a non-clinical
role.
Specialists who are not currently practicing medicine and wish
to return to the workforce may be eligible to receive:
• refresher training and mentor support, and/or
• training placements in private practice (such services will attract
the Medicare rebate).
Specialist practices, mentors and colleges that participate in
the program may also receive financial incentives.
All obstetricians and gynaecologists are eligible for the SREP,
in co-operation with the RANZCOG. A separate program has been developed for
GPs.
The first cohort of the SREP started in July 2004.
