The PEP program is a self-directed education and support program for doctors working towards fellowship in regional, rural and remote Australia.
The Non-Vocationally Registered Fellowship Support Program (FSP) is funded under the Australian Government’s (Department of Health) Stronger Rural Health Strategy for Doctors based in Modified Monash Model (MMM) areas 2 to 7.
Personalised program – with a tailored online learning package, focus on the units most relevant for the doctor based on the doctors existing experience
Support network – with a specialist GP mentor, scheduled workplace visits and ongoing feedback
A1 Medicare rebates – with access to a PEP provider number and full A1 Medicare rebates, you can experience the same benefits as a Specialist GP while participating on the PEP program.
Professional confidence – with ongoing support from mentors and online learning units to expand your skills in Australia general practice, the PEP supports your professional development while you prepare for the RACGP Fellowship exams.
Best Practice – with expert support and feedback from GP mentors, and online learning units to complement the doctors existing skill sets and experience, the doctor can feel confident providing patients with the highest quality healthcare.
The duration and tailored program ranges from two to five six-month terms (ie. 12 – 30 months), this time is a case by case basis as it allows participants to focus on individual learning needs, building their experience and the areas of Australian general practice most relevant to them, based on previous experience and skill.
The Australian Government is changing the rules for doctors who do not hold fellowship who want to work in Australia. From January 2022, non-VR doctors who do not hold a specialist qualification are required to complete an approved program to be eligible to sit the RACGP fellowship examinations.
