Oxford Journals, a division of Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced the launch of InnovAiT, a new journal for trainee General Practitioners (GPs) to complement their path through training. The journal, the first issue of which is currently available online, is published in partnership with the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).
Published monthly, InnovAiT is aimed at Associates in Training (AiTs) of the RCGP - those doctors undertaking specialty training for general practice in the UK from 2007 onwards. The journal supports and assists the learning and development of trainees by rotating on a three-year cycle through the new GP training curriculum and assessment that leads to membership of the RCGP (MRCGP) and the Certificate of Completion of Training. Each issue covers two clinical themes and one non-clinical topic, as well as a news section highlighting important new policies, research, and guidelines affecting GPs.
The journal will also feature two regular columns - From the Trainer will provide guidance to supplement that provided by real-world trainers; and a column on exam tips from a recently qualified GP will act as a further study aid. In addition, the journal also features test questions, and welcomes contributions from trainee GPs themselves based on their experiences in training and on subjects that would be relevant to their peers.
Print and online access to InnovAiT is a benefit of Associate in Training membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners.
