Registrars

Selection of Registrars into BRTN is a competitive process administered centrally by General Practice Education and Training (GPET). Registrars come to the Region for three to four years completing their first year in local hospitals. During the basic and advanced terms, training takes place in BRTN teaching practices. The third year is either a further 12 months in General Practice in the Region or six months General Practice and six months Special Skills. An optional fourth year is Advanced Rural Skills.
