Factors influencing the decision to become a supervisor: A qualitative study of early-career general practitioners and rural generalists.

Background And Objectives: General practitioner (GP) training in Australia relies on accredited GP supervisors facilitating workplace-based training for GP registrars. There is a shortage of supervisors that is likely to worsen. This research aimed to elucidate the perspectives of early-career GPs and rural generalists (RGs) about the barriers, motivators and enablers to becoming a GP supervisor.

Exploring learning characteristics and progression of GP trainees based in regional, rural and remote settings: A qualitative study.

Objective: Globally, most doctors train and work in metropolitan areas but a key strategy for developing the rural health workforce is expanding rural training. The aim of this study was to describe the scope and quality of learning along with skill acquisition of GP trainees based in regional, rural, and remote settings.

Setting: Regional, rural and remote settings in Queensland Australia excluding Brisbane.

Health Profession Education in Remote or Geographically Isolated Settings: A Scoping Review.

Remote health has been differentiated from rural health in Australia and defined as isolated, with poor service access and a relatively high proportion of Indigenous residents, necessitating different models of care. Educational strategies for remote health practice are often needs driven and the characteristics of remote health may be used to categorise remote health professional education. This scoping review aims to identify the purpose of health professional education for remote settings, the type of educational strategies implemented and the reported outcomes.
