The Nature of Expert Communication as Required for the General Practice ofMedicine: a Discourse Analytical Study. Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP)

The objectives of the project are to enhance understanding of the nature of expert communication as required for General Practice and to make these new understandings available to medical educators and assessors. Research will be designed to explore these specific questions:
- How is expert communication, within particular communicatively challenging clinical contexts, perceived by experienced practitioner-educators and examiners?
- How can close analysis of such communication enable the researcher to establish the basis for degrees of expertise among those presenting for College examinations?
- How can insights gained from the analysis of such communication enable the researcher to contribute to the enhancement of assessment and teaching practices for College candidates including those trained overseas whose first language is not English?
This project has now been extended to include a funded program of in-service professional development seminars with Medical Educators at WentWest (a Recognised Training Organisation in Paramatta NSW) over a nine month period from November 2008, focusing on reflective practice, co-directed by Professor Chris Candlin (Macquarie) and Professor Tim Usherwood (University of Sydney) and with the involvement of Dr Tim Senior (WentWest), Catherine O'Grady (Macquarie) and Dr Sally Candlin (Macquarie).
