Supervisors
Are you interested in becoming a GP supervisor?
GP supervisors have a unique and central role in general practice training. The ‘apprenticeship’ training model provides registrars with the support of dedicated and experienced clinicians who work in the same or similar clinical settings.
Supervisors develop strong working relationships with their registrars, and provide them with professional role modelling, teaching and mentoring. Supervisors facilitate a registrar’s progress in gaining clinical experience and competence, and help to ensure that the registrar has the breadth of clinical experience in order to successfully undertake fellowship exams and be ready for unsupervised clinical practice.
At James Cook University (JCU), supervisors are central to our General Practice training model of medical education. While providing vocational training in the ‘North West Queensland’ region, an area that comprises 90 percent of the state, JCU aims to support the provision of excellent clinical placements, with as much teaching and training as is appropriate, delivered as locally as possible.

Are you ready to be a JCU GP supervisor? Great! Becoming an accredited supervisor involves a few steps. If your practice is already RACGP/ACRRM accredited, then this involves completing an application form, providing supporting documentation and a meeting with the local node staff.
The first step is to give your local JCU GP office a call. The team will be able to answer any further questions you have and give you a more detailed look into how a supervisor helps our registrars.
