Doctor What? Doctor Where? podcast - RACGP or ACRRM: Which GP College is Right For You?
The twenty first episode of the Doctor What? Doctor Where? Stories of Rural Medicine podcast - RACGP or ACRRM: Which GP College is Right For You?- is now available.
If you're thinking about a GP pathway you'll already know there's two colleges - the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine. Becoming a fellow of either college enables you to practice as a GP anywhere in Australia. But there are subtle points of difference.
In this episode you'll hear from people from both colleges as well as trainees who decided to opt for each college.
