Over the past year, CHN, in partnership with the Academic Unit of General Practice at the Australian National University Medical School, administered a GP Scholarship Program for medical students. The program aims to help students stay connected to GP mentors during their final year of medical school and throughout their early years of junior doctor training. By fostering these connections, the program provided essential support, networking opportunities and mentorship to aid in the transition from medical school to hospital settings and general practice environments.
Students who showed an interest in general practice during their third-year placements were invited to apply for the three-year scholarship, with 4 awarded each year. Under the scholarship, the students were connected with their respective GP mentors over 2 formal dinners during their fourth year of study, as well as having the opportunity to attend a GP conference in their first 2 years as a junior Doctor.
