The Prevocational General Practice Placement Program (PGPPP) is a high-quality prevocational training program for doctors interested in testing the waters of a career in General Practice and/or rural and remote community medicine.

The program offers a challenging hands-on experience in general practice, with or without the choice of special interest posts like paediatrics, obstetrics, surgery and emergency care; or maybe you have an interest in population health, Aboriginal health, palliative care or home hospital.

Choose from a variety of locations throughout the metropolitan area or venture out to a rural setting to experience rural community medicine for 1 or 2 hospital length terms.

Long term rural training options, which incorporate a PGPPP component are also available through the Rural Practice Pathway (RPP). RMO's can apply for a full year position with WA Country Health Service (WACHS) in a number of rural locations, including Bunbury, Broome, Geraldton and Albany.
