Finding your path: discovering the breadth of careers in general practice
11:30 AM - 12:30 PMSummary
Join this facilitated session involving a panel of fellow GPs and family physicians, a 60-minute professional forum showcasing the breadth of careers available through the General Practice specialisation.
While all GPs deliver comprehensive care covering the full breadth of patient demographics and case presentations, many GPs develop expertise and skills in specific areas of general practice throughout their career. The result is that GPs often craft unique careers within and alongside general practice, exploring their own interests while meeting the specific needs of their community. GPs also often have opportunities to get involved in advocacy, community development and leadership.
The panel will discuss their individual areas of specific interest within general practice: addiction medicine, paediatric ADHD, and custodial health. Delegates will hear how panelists discovered their areas of interest, what their day-to-day role looks like, and the impact on them and their communities.
