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.
