Kimberley Aboriginal Health Training Program
The Kimberley Aboriginal Health General Practice training program is a joint venture between WAGPET and Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Service Inc (KAMSC) and offers a unique and flexible learning experience across a variety of clinical settings working in multidisciplinary teams.
Registrars are invited to specialise in Aboriginal health, within a network of Aboriginal community controlled health services across the region. These posts have protected training time, support by a KAMSC Medical Educator, local administrative staff and WAGPET. Registrars have the opportunity to practice procedural skills and to manage their own in-patients in some towns.
Places are available for GP Registrars wishing to complete Basic, Advanced, Subsequent or an Advanced Rural Skills Post in Aboriginal health.
The Kimberley Program offers Registrars the opportunity to either work in the region for only one or two terms or to undertake all their GP training within the region.
Completing a one year Advanced Rural Skills Post in Aboriginal health allows registrars to complete both the RACGP Fellowship of Advanced Rural General Practice and depending on other training undertaken to qualify for Fellowship of ACRRM.
