STIs are increasing in general practice and a key strategy Melbourne Sexual Health Centre is supporting is training for general practitioners to build capacity for STI management in general practice. These positions would suit general practice trainees interested in sexual health as a 6-month special skills rotation or GPs who have recently obtained their Fellowship interested in acquiring training and skills in sexual health medicine.
