About

The Academic Unit of General Practice (AUGP) is a community resource committed to providing excellence in health education. Based at The Canberra Hospital, we are jointly funded by ACT Health and the ANU Medical School.

The AUGP has developed research activities that encompass child health, integrated service development, clinical research, individual routes to health and healing, social determinants of medical care, and scholarship in teaching and learning.

In addition, the AUGP has contributed to policy development within the Australian Capital Territory and wider Australian health service through committee work and communication of its research findings.

The AUGP provides partnership and support to the educational programs of the ANU Medical School.
