Rural GP registrars in the island state will transfer to college-led training by the end of next month.
Days after announcing it had successfully transitioned almost 100 of its AGPT registrars to college-led training months ahead of schedule, ACRRM has set its sights on another state.
Australiaâs nine regional training organisations have until February next year to transition GP training back to the colleges.
General Practice Training Tasmania (GPTT) has now agreed to transition its 11ACRRM trainees to the college program by the start of October, four months ahead of schedule.
It will be the second RTO to do so, after GP Synergy (NSW and ACT) agreed to an early handover of ACRRM registrars in January this year.
The 96-odd GP Synergy ACRRM trainees successfully started on the college program this week, after what both parties dubbed a smooth transition process.
ACRRM CEO Marita Cowie said the college will draw on this experience to onboard the Tasmanian registrars.
âWe have expanded our footprint in Tasmania with a regional team who will directly support registrars, supervisors, and training posts through this process and beyond, and our systems and processes are in place,â she said.
GPTT CEO Judy Dew said the RTO will be able and willing to provide specialist support to ACRRM for the remainder of 2022. The training transition for ACRRM registrars in all other states and territories is still expected to occur closer to February 2023.
