This podcast explores the enablers and best practice strategies for integrating medical students into the general practice environment – in ways that balance learning with practice efficiency and clinical workload. We consider practical approaches to creating a positive learning environment, orientating students, involving them meaningfully in patient care, and giving effective feedback.

​This podcast gives you practical strategies to make your practice stand out and unpacks the new Federal Government GP Training incentives starting in Semester 1, 2026 – and what they mean for both practices and registrars.

Doctors Justin Coleman and Simon Morgan discuss how to teach registrars the science and art of using screening tests and preventive health interventions.

GPSA Teaching Plan: Preventive Health And Screening

In Australia, 40% of pregnancies are unintended. Uptake of reliable and cost-effective long-acting reversible contraception, such as intrauterine devices (IUDs) and implants, is lower in Australia compared to similarly developed countries, and early medical abortion can be difficult to access. Many factors impact uptake of or access to these services, including access to primary health care service providers who provide these services.

In this podcast we discuss the use of new teaching resources on contraceptive options, long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and early medical abortion (EMA) to support teaching and implementation of best practice care.

It is widely recognised that international medical graduates (IMG) can face multiple potential challenges in navigating GP training. Supervisors therefore need a thorough understanding of the range of cultural, communication and other issues facing IMG registrars.

This podcast aims to assist GP supervisors to better support IMG GP registrars training in their practices.GPSA resources https://gpsa.org.au/supporting-the-img/

In this episode, we explore the rapid rise of AI scribes in Australian primary care, with around 20% of GPs now using them daily. These tools record consultations, transcribe them, and use AI to generate summarised medical records—helping to save time, improve accuracy, and reduce clinician burnout. While AI scribes offer promising solutions to workforce pressures, they also introduce important medicolegal considerations, especially for supervisors and registrars.
