Becoming a general practitioner in Australia: Transformative learning and threshold concepts
2025
Overview
A previous article presented stories of registrars' journeys through early general practice training. This paper aims to explore in detail two registrars' stories using the lenses of transformative learning theory and threshold concept theory to seek fresh insights into becoming a general practitioner.
This study explored the experience of 12 registrars undertaking their first general practice term using a qualitative narrative enquiry approach. Two stories are examined in more detail to see if they resonate with the transformative learning and threshold concept theories.
Both theories appear to have resonance with the experiences, as described by the two registrars.
The transformative experience of early general practice training can be usefully described by transformative learning theory as a holistic change of 'meaning perspective', and also as learning key threshold concepts. This might help inform future registrars' learning and supervisors' teaching.
