Training Opportunities
Helping to grow the next generation of health care providers
GP Registrars
In a climate of growing demand for high-quality healthcare services, alongside an increasing shortage of practitioners in outer metropolitan and rural communities, Mead Medical is proud to play an active role in addressing this need.
Mead Medical has a long-standing commitment to training and mentoring GP Registrars, supporting the development of the next generation of general practitioners. Several of our current GPs have progressed through this training pathway and chosen to continue their careers with Mead Medical—an outcome that reflects both the strength of our training environment and the positive impact this investment has on our local community.
We are also delighted to recognise the outstanding contributions of our supervisors. Two of our current and former GP Registrar Supervisors, Dr Rebecca Hunt-Davies and Dr Greg Caddy, have been awarded the RACGP WA GP Supervisor of the Year accolade.
Mead Medical is an accredited GP training practice. Applications for the GP Training Program are submitted through the RACGP, with placements at Mead Medical requested via the RACGP portal.

Medical Students
In addition to GP Registrars, Mead Medical also hosts medical students completing their general practice placements. These placements provide students with valuable exposure to the many facets of general practice, while highlighting the essential role general practice plays in supporting the everyday health and wellbeing of our communities.
Medical students attend Mead Medical for structured placement blocks, during which we endeavour to provide a broad and varied clinical experience across as many domains as possible. This includes routine consultations, skin clinics, chronic disease management, aged care, and treatment room consultations.
Wherever appropriate, students are encouraged to participate in a hands-on capacity within a safe, supportive, and closely supervised environment, ensuring a positive learning experience while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
We are sincerely grateful to our patients who generously support medical education by welcoming medical students into their consultations. Their willingness to participate plays a vital role in shaping future doctors and contributes meaningfully to the ongoing strength of general practice in our community.
