Student doctors on general practice rotation

Last week our University of Sydney final year medical students started their general practice rotation, with Clinical Educator Matt Grey ensuring their knowledge around assessing joint ailments and injuries was finetuned in preparation.

The general practice rotation sees students spend three days per week for eight weeks in a local medical centre. This is one of the most important rotations students do on their placement as it plays an important part in helping them understand how to apply their knowledge in a real-life setting. In a rural setting, it is also a chance for students to experience clinical problems that often aren’t seen in metropolitan settings.  

For medical centres who take students on GP rotation, it is an opportunity for them to play a part in building the future medical workforce. This impact of this is so important, and like us, the centres involved in these rotations share a commitment to supporting soon-to-be doctors develop their skills and sensibilities in a rural environment.

We appreciate the support of all the staff at the following medical centres who are working with the current group of University of Sydney medical students:
