The Intern Transition to Practice Program (ITP)
The Intern Transition to Practice Program (ITP) is a one day program designed for interns to complete during their hospital orientation. This program allows interns to practise applying knowledge using common case-based scenarios that are associated with errors/adverse events through individualised practice, real time feedback and close interaction with senior medical staff.
Learning Objectives
On completion of the ITP program, Junior Doctors will be able to:
- demonstrate knowledge of and be confident in some situations that have the potential to harm a patient;
- identify the ‘red flag’ situations;
- know when to seek assistance;
- act appropriately to avoid an adverse event.
