Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Over the past 3 years Gippsland Education and Training for General Practice (getGP) has piloted the Irish Registrar Exchange Program, offering general practice registrars the opportunity to spend 3 months of their general practice training in rural Ireland, and similarly hosting visits from Irish registrars. The visits occurred toward the end of general practice training. From an Australian perspective, the objectives of the exchange included the opportunity for Australian graduates to experience a different health system and also to widen their training experience. This article reports on the formal evaluation of the process.
