The Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) GP Education Program aims to help GPs better support and treat patients experiencing AOD related problems.
All members have access to the program’s online Essential Skills Training as well as the opportunity to discuss AOD patient cases with their peers on Thursday evenings at AOD Connect: Project ECHO.
Treatment Skills and Advanced Skills Training are available to eligible members who apply to the program. Treatment Skills and Advanced Skills Training attracts a completion payment, rewarding GPs for upskilling in treatment of AOD.
Applications for Treatment Skills and Advanced Skills (Intake 3) are closing soon.
The RACGP Treatment Skills applications close on the 31 March 2022, and Advanced Skills applications close on the 21 March 2022.
GPs can apply directly from the AOD homepage.
More information is included in the AOD GP Education Program Handbook Supplement.
