Academic Workshops
GPET runs two different types of workshops for registrars interested in research and undertaking academic posts, they are:
- The Registrar Research Workshop: this workshop is aimed at introducing interested registrars to research in the primary health care setting.
- The Academic Registrar Workshop: this workshop is run for registrars who are currently undertaking an Academic Post.
Both workshops are held in conjunction with the Primary Health Care Research and Information Service's (PHC RIS) annual conference. Attendance at the Conference is available to all registrars whose applications for either workshop is accepted.
