“It (IGPTN) made a huge difference! I have no doubt I passed exams thanks to the conferences providing exam education, practice skills, GP education and study groups!”

” IGPTN is like an extended family. I felt supported by IGPTN and all the other registrars when going through my training.”

Dr Anastasia Jensen

RACGP Trainee

Being a GP can be very isolating, and a registrar in training more so. IGPTN has provided a culturally safe place for me to connect and build strong relationships with other trainees or fellows.”

“IGPTN plays a crucial role in workforce equity by helping to nurture and retain more Indigenous doctors in the field, which is essential for achieving health equity for our communities.”
