ReCEnt Project – Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training

Clinical encounters are the core learning activity of general practice training in Australia. However, exposure to different patient demographics and presentations is highly variable between registrars and practices. This has a clear impact on the nature and quality of training.

The Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training (ReCEnT) project aims to document and analyse the nature of general practice registrar consultation's clinical and educational content. Registrars record details of sixty consecutive consultations during your training time on three occasions. Educational factors related to the encounter will be recorded along with clinical consultation details.

The project documents the content and nature of Australian GP registrars’ clinical consultations over time. This information is valuable in supporting registrars' individual learning and informing education and the training program. The study also provides a platform for further research and audit activity, including by GP registrars.

We are working towards all regions participating in ReCEnT by 2025, with a staged rollout in 2024. You will be provided with more information if ReCEnT will be rolled out in your region in early 2024.

2023 Medical Training Survey – now open

The valuable anonymous feedback from doctors in training, gathered by the Medical Training Survey, will deliver robust national data that looks to identify strengths in medical training and potential issues to be addressed.

The survey results provide a snapshot of medical training in Australia through the eyes of doctors in training. FAQs and more about how the survey data is used to drive improvement in medical training can be found here.
