Episode 116
He Trained 60 GPs to Build Six Practices
LISTEN NOW
Dr Tim Koh opened his first clinic just three years after qualifying as a VR GP.
Not to build an empire.
To teach.
Nearly 20 years later, he’s built six Practices, trained more than 60 registrars, and retained some team members for 25 years.
In this episode, Tim shares how registrar training became a serious growth strategy for his group, and why many GP owners may be overlooking one of the best ways to build culture, strengthen recruitment, and grow a Practice for the long term.
What You’ll Get From This Episode
- Why many GP owners avoid taking on registrars, and why Tim thinks they’ve got the maths backwards
- How he recruits for cultural fit, including what he tells every registrar candidate about how long he expects them to stay
- How to position registrars with patients so training becomes a strength of the Practice, not something the community has to tolerate
- Why the most valuable thing supervisors teach isn’t clinical knowledge, but critical thinking
- How registrars can lift standards, challenge pessimism, and become part of a stronger long-term GP team
Tim’s advice for anyone considering Practice Ownership or supervision:
“Be brave. Nothing makes you succeed like needing to succeed.”
