I28 Master of Family Medicine
INTRODUCTION General practitioners provide universal access to whole person care in the context of the family and the community. High quality general practice care means comprehensive, coordinated and continuing care drawing upon biomedical, psychological, social and environmental understandings of health. The Master of Family Medicine has been developed for general practitioners seeking a greater depth of understanding of this field. With rapidly expanding medical knowledge and information, general practitioners need systems to access information, critically analyse literature and contemporary issues, and manage the emerging trends in practice. The course has been designed for practising clinicians with a focus on application of knowledge into the clinical situation.
