The issues surrounding dissemination of iNvestigate to prevocational trainees, discussed in previous reports, have not been resolved. Various dissemination activities were mentioned in the progress report. Since that time, the following developments are of note:
- In January 2012 the Participant gave a very successful presentation about iNvestigate at the Asia-Pacific Medical Education Conference in Singapore.
- At the end of June 2012 the Participant will give a presentation about iNvestigate at the Australian and New Zealand Association for Health Professional Educators in Rotorua.
- In July 2012 Dr Anne Eastwood and the Participant will discuss iNvestigate with colleagues at the meeting of the General Practice Unit at Fairfield Hospital, Sydney.
- In September 2012 Dr Anne Eastwood will give a presentation about the iNvestigate Project at the General Practice Education and Training Convention in Melbourne.
- A preliminary report about the iNvestigate Project was submitted to the Medical Journal of Australia in April 2012; while the manuscript was rejected on the grounds that no evaluation data were available, this has led to plans to gather such data, see below.
- At the suggestion of Dr Wendy Pryor, the Participant has opened discussions with the Medical Editor of Australian Doctor regarding dissemination of information about iNvestigate via that publication, and possibly collaborating to make it available for CPD credit for general practitioners.
