Our vision is an evidence-based primary care system that places the whole person at its heart and provides high-quality care for all. General practice spans the depth and breadth of human experience, providing relationship-centered care for people throughout their lives in the context of their family, community, and other healthcare providers. The diverse nature of general practice, and the diverse communities we serve, is reflected in the diversity of our research interests.
We hold a research seminar alternate Wednesdays 12-1pm. Please contact us if you would like to be on the invite list for seminars. Attendance via zoom is an option.

Director: Professor Claire Jackson
The MRI-UQ Centre for Health System Reform and Integration brings together and develops the work of two Centres for Research Excellence; one on primary and secondary care integration, and the other on primary care quality, capacity building and governance.
UQGP Research
Director: Associate Professor Katharine Wallis
UQGP Research is a practice-based research network (PBRN) that supports collaboration between The University of Queensland’s (UQ) primary care researchers and general practices.
Our network of health care practitioners and researchers are united in the aim of conducting primary care research to expand the evidence-base and improve outcomes for patients accessing primary health care.
The Mayne Academy of General Practice offers full and part-time positions in academic general practice. These positions provide a year of advanced training in academic general practice to interested general practice registrars.
Academic posts are part of Australian General Practice Training and provide training in an academic setting. Registrars will undertake a research project and contribute to teaching, professional service and leadership. As well as developing research skills, registrars can develop skills in teaching and student assessment, planning and evaluation or teaching and academic project work. A senior academic supervisor provides guidance, mentorship, supervision, and feedback.
The Mayne Academy of General Practice is highly supportive of academic registrars and provides a nurturing environment where academic skills can be developed. Training posts can be structured to meet the specific needs of individual registrars.
Academic post projects
If you have your own project idea, please contact us to discuss your plans.

Postgraduate coursework
Master of Medicine - MMed (Skin Cancer)
Graduates will have a level of knowledge and diagnostic skill that will enable them to effectively manage a large proportion of skin cancer in their clinical work.
UQ’s postgraduate Skin Cancer medicine program is designed to give training in the biology, diagnosis and principles of management of skin cancer. It is suitable for doctors and health practitioners wishing to enhance their knowledge and skills in this area of practices. Both Graduate Certificate (1 year part-time) and Master (2 year part-time) level programs are available in this entirely external training. Further information is available via: https://future-students.uq.edu.au/study/program/Master-of-Medicine-5398.
Higher degrees by research
Our Mayne Academy is very supportive of postgraduate students and higher degrees by research are offered on a full or part-time basis to accomodate clinical practice.
Here is what Dr Geoff Spurling, one of our current PhD students has to say about his experience in DGP:
"DGP has been very generous in providing me with the resources to get my thesis off the ground. After a year in, I felt like a blind man flailing about in a room trying to find the boundaries. My DGP supervisors have helped me find the edges.
Primary care research may not have the charisma of laboratory-based research but I think this thesis has the potential to benefit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the community where I work as a clinician and it wouldn't have been possible without DGP."
