Supervision

Prevocational training is the period of transition for junior doctors from the completion of medical school to commencement of specialty training. Prevocational training focuses on developing safe, competent, compassionate, high-quality patient care.

The new National Framework for Prevocational (PGY1 & PGY2) Medical Training supports prevocational training in Australia.

Prevocational doctors have traditionally completed terms in public hospitals but are increasingly being placed into general practices and community-based facilities. GP supervisors therefore play an essential role in the development of junior doctors into competent practitioners.

The key resource that we would recommend reading as a useful overview is the Best Practice Supervision of prevocational doctors (under development).
