Over 40 per cent of GPs in Australia are overseas-trained, yet their views on healthcare provision are often overlooked.
The University of Melbourne invites you to participate in an interview study, 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 health care 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 to 60-minute discussion (in-person or online)
- Sharing your perspectives on multidisciplinary care and medical pluralism
Why your participation matters:
- 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.
How to participate:
- Please read the Information Statement
- Ask any questions
- Submit the consent form
- We’ll contact you to arrange an interview time
