Evaluation of an interpractice visit peer review program for rural Australian general practice registrars.
Changes to the Australian General Practice Training Program occurred in 2001 allowing registrars in small rural communities to undertake all of their training in one practice. A disadvantage of this change was that there was limited exposure for registrars to different types of general practice. An interpractice visit program utilising peer review between registrars was developed to provide this exposure. This article describes rural Australian general practice registrars' views and experiences of a pilot interpractice visit peer review program.
