Our General Practice Clinical School education team is responsible for delivering the General Practice curriculum in the Sydney Medical Program.
The General Practice Term, an eight-week immersive experience, takes place during year four and SLICE (Situated Learning in Community Environments), an eight-week block, during year two.
General Practice and primary health care medicine exposure have been increased in the revised curriculum, which began to roll out in 2020.
General Practice draws from all the major disciplines in personalised, contextual care for individuals and families and provides a coordinating role as patients move from one health care provider to another.
In a combination of guided experiential learning, structured teaching, interactive and reflective activities, the curriculum is designed to develop skills and understanding to work in diverse communities in Australia and beyond.
The specialty is decentralised and students are allocated to one of the urban clinical schools (Central, Concord, Northern, Nepean or Westmead) or can apply to undertake the course in one of the Rural Clinical School sites at Dubbo, Orange, Lismore or Broken Hill.
