"For education and training to GPs, we offer higher education in mental health through the Psychiatric Medicine Program; and RACGP/ACRRM/GPMHSC accredited GP skills training / mental health CPD workshops.
The GP skills training workshops run annually and include:
The Psychiatric Medicine Program aims to develop advanced mental health assessment and management, and thus improve capacity to provide effective recovery-oriented care. We offer Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, and Masters level.
This contemporary program has been designed to meet the needs of three distinct groups: Psychiatrists; General Practitioners; Rural and Remote Medicine specialists. We offer flexible adult education learning options both face to face and online.
As a student of the Psychiatric Medicine Program, you also have access to our optional skills training workshops. Scholarships are available for General Practitioners working and living in NSW."
