Undertaking an academic registrar position in the Department of General Practice gives a registrar the opportunity to work with leading researchers in a range of areas, for example chronic care, mental health, drug and alcohol, child sexual abuse or women’s health; as well as gaining valuable teaching skills in one of the few remaining undergraduate medical courses in Australia.
