Philosophy

The Physician Training Unit works within the Department of Medicine to facilitate the education and professional growth of medical registrars. The aim is to train high-quality medical professionals within the framework of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) to become qualified specialist physicians.

The BPT training starts as early as Post Graduate Year 3 (PGY3). The Liverpool Network offers a complete three year training program following the principles of the RACP PREP Program. The first year of the program introduces trainees to the overarching principles of the physician pathway and allows trainees to experience a diverse range of exposures including some regional medicine. The second year enhances the learning exposures in preparation for the written and clinical exams. The third year of the training program is focused on completion of the formal examinations, including both a written exam in February and clinical exam in June, and then preparation for advanced training.

The Liverpool Network is a dynamic and progressive training unit that continues to evolve and adopt new methods of teaching and is ready for the next phase of the New RACP Curriculum.
