G’day. My name is Ian Kamerman and I’m your Supervisor Liaison Officer for FSP. My day job is as a practice owner in Tamworth NSW, where we have AGPT, PEP and FSP registrars, plus I’m also an RVTS supervisor. Some of you out there are AGPT supervisors so will be familiar with the concept of an SLO. However, many of you may not have been a formally appointed supervisor in the past.
Think of me as a support, a mentor and a conduit. As an experienced supervisor I can assist supervisors who want help or advice around the program or with registrar issues that fall outside medical education and training. I also represent supervisor views to the RACGP, especially with regard to the FSP operationally.
FSP, unlike most of the other general practice training pathways, interacts with so many different bodies. Supervisors will find that many of their registrars are working under limited registration, with AHPRA supervision requirements. On top of this there are college training requirements. Then there is preparation for the FRACGP exams. Most importantly there is the responsibility of ensuring that patients are looked after well and safely.
I’m looking forward to working with you. Feel free to reach out to me at any time.
Ian
