First 29 GPs formally recognised for their special interests under RACGP’s $1350 certificate
The college launched its 'extended skills certificate' late last year.
Twenty-nine GPs can now tout formal recognition of their areas of special interest after receiving the RACGP’s new $1350 certificate.
In November, the RACGP launched its Recognition of Extended Skills for GPs who wanted certification of their special interests in dermatology, psychological medicine, addiction medicine, integrative medicine or developmental disability medicine.
Applicants have their training and case studies of patient care assessed by two or three other GPs with recognised special interest skills.
Of the 43 applicants so far, 29 passed the assessment, with some still awaiting a response.
