2.2 The education program
The AGPT program comprises both in-practice and out-of-practice learning and teaching
opportunities.
2.2.1 In-practice
The MCCC in-practice education program includes all teaching and learning that happens in the
training post. The in-practice program provides significant learning and teaching opportunities
including:
• Planned teaching sessions: one on one and small group.
• Ad hoc teaching (colloquially known as ‘corridor teaching’ or ‘teaching on the run’) (see
Morrison, Clement, Brown, & Nestel, 2014).
• Consultations with patients.
• Working with your supervisor and other practice staff to develop and action your learning
plan.
• Contributing to educational events targeted at local communities, organised by your
practice.
• External Clinical Teaching Visits (ECTVs)/MiniCEXs/Case based discussions.
• Training Advisor review meetings.
• In-practice assessment, feedback and monitoring.
As the deliverers of in-practice (on-the-job) teaching and supervision, GP supervisors and the
practice supervision team are the core to successful general practice training.
2.2.2 Out-of-practice
The out-of-practice learning program includes learning and teaching that occurs in the following
domains:
2.2.2.1 Face-to-Face
Teaching and learning that happens in person in the same physical space or supported by the use of
real-time technologies. This might include: workshops, study groups, one-on-one coaching and
mentoring and synchronous on-line learning.
Please note: There is a schedule of compulsory workshops. MCCC provides a detailed calendar of
these workshops and other significant training events and dates. The education calendar is updated
regularly and should be consulted frequently. It can be found on the MCCC website.
2.2.2.2 Directed Learning
