Medical board plan to fast-track overseas GPs into Australia next month still a big mystery, says RACGP
The reforms were only revealed a few months ago.
The RACGP says it is increasingly concerned about the lack of information on the Medical Board of Australia’s plan to fast-track IMGs into the country from next month.
Pushed by federal and state health ministers wanting to fill GP vacancies in regional areas, the new “expedited pathway” effectively sidelines the RACGP and ACRRM from assessing the skills and suitability of eligible IMGs.
