How is JCU making a difference?
Take a look at our JCU GP training stories
Becoming a James Cook University (JCU) GP training supervisor is a wonderful way to give back to the profession, and to experience supervision as a way of enhancing your own clinical knowledge.
Supervisors work closely with registrars to help develop general practice knowledge and skills, enabling registrars to practice independently as a GP.
JCU supports supervisors by providing locally accessible workshops and education sessions, which consolidate and build on educational knowledge and teaching skills.
Eligibility and how to apply
- Hold a fellowship (Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and/or Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine) and current membership with either college (or equivalent qualifications and experience)
- Have vocational registration with Medicare Australia and hold full, unrestricted medical registration
- Provide excellent, professional and clinical role-modelling
- Currently employed in a JCU accredited (or accreditable) training post
