RWAV’s Rural Exam Preparation Program (REPP) assists OTDs in their preparation for Fellowship examination of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP).
This Commonwealth funded program is for doctors working on the Victorian Overseas Trained Doctors Rural Recruitment Scheme (VORRS) and the Rural Locum Relief Program (RLRP).
An Individual Learning Plan (ILP) is tailored for each of the participants. The ILP identifies gaps in medical knowledge and clinical experience which helps in the development of a learning strategy for each individual.
REPP funds examination preparation programs delivered by divisions, RTPs, GPREP and other REPP providers.
If you are a doctor on VORRS or RLRP interested in this program, contact RWAV on (03) 9349 7800.
