Advanced Specialised Training (AST) for GPs and Rural Generalists

Both the Australian College for Rural and Remote Medicine (ACCRM) and the Royal Australian College of General Practice (RACGP) support rural generalist trainees to undertake 12 month full-time Advanced Specialised Training (AST) in palliative medicine. This training is separately accredited by the GP Colleges. As a rural generalist, your college may require completion of the 6-month Clinical Foundations in Palliative Medicine rotation as part of your 12-month AST year.
