Medical students will receive quality training experiences in general practice, crucial to their journey to becoming a doctor. Australians see their general practitioner (GP) more than any other health professional, with nine out of ten people seeing their GP at least once a year. This puts GPs at the centre of the healthcare system. 

Clinical placements

ANU medical students undertake a 6-week urban general practice placement in Canberra and Queanbeyan. They gain diverse clinical experience, seeing patients of all ages and conditions, and learn from GPs, nurses, and allied health professionals.
