Invitation: Share Your Perspectives as an Overseas-trained GP

43% of GPs in Australia are overseas-trained, yet their views on healthcare provision are often overlooked. We want to hear from you as part of an Honours project!

We invite GPs in Australia who obtained their initial medical degree outside of Australia to participate in an interview. This study seeks to better understand how overseas-trained GPs engage with multidisciplinary care and medical pluralism, including the role of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM) within the Australian healthcare system.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • Obtained your initial medical degree outside Australia
  • Are currently practising as a GP in Australia

Participation involves:

  • A 30–60-minute discussion (in-person or online)
  • Share your perspectives on multidisciplinary care and medical pluralism

Why your participation matters:

  • 43% of GPs in Australia are overseas trained and have diverse experience and knowledge
  • Two-thirds of Australians use T&CM
  • Your insights are invaluable in helping us better understand health service delivery needs for multicultural Australia, regardless of your personal views of T&CM
  • A previous study suggested marked difference in opinions between Australian and overseas-trained GPs on this topic
