GP Training
When did it all begin?
We are proud to have been a renowned teaching clinic for over three decades, providing quality training for doctors who are now specialising in General Practice. Almost every doctor at the clinic came through this training at Casey Medical Centre and stayed on, highlighting the quality atmosphere we have established.
The learning experience:
In order to provide a quality learning experience, most of the doctors provide education and they teach in the area of medicine about which they have a passion and special interest. This sets up trainees to be prepared for a career in General Practice after developing skills in a wide variety of areas, after focussed teaching.
Furthermore, if the doctor decides to stay on, the clinic provides ongoing learning and teaching opportunities through clinical meetings and presentations, the visiting specialists, and of course the casual chat at lunch or on the phone.
