Clinical encounters of Australian general practice registrars with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.

Conclusions: GP registrars encounter Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients less than do established GPs. Our results suggest possible variability in registrar experience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.
IMPLICATIONS: Our findings will inform training of a culturally and clinically competent workforce in this area.
