Background Globally, a substantial proportion of general practitioners (GPs) incorporate integrative medicine (IM) into their clinical practice. Objective This study aimed to map the IM education and training pathways and needs of a cohort of Australian GPs who are members of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners’ IM Specific Interest Network, which is a group of GPs with interest in IM. Methods We conducted a mixed-methods study comprising of an online, cross-sectional survey supplemented with in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data from the survey and interviews were initially analysed separately and then combined. Results Eighty-three (83) of 505 eligible GPs/GPs in training (16.4%) participated in the survey, and 15 GPs were interviewed. Results from the two datasets either converged or were complementary. Almost half (47%) of survey respondents had undertaken formal undergraduate or postgraduate IM education, a short course (63%), informal education (71%) or self-education (54%), in at least one of 20 IM modalities listed. Interviewees affirmed there was no single education pathway in IM. Survey respondents who identified as practicing IM were significantly more likely to have IM education, positive attitudes towards IM, particularly natural products, and higher self-rated IM knowledge and competencies. However, knowledge gaps were identified in professional skills domains of population health and context, and organisational and legal dimensions of applied IM practice. Interviewees also highlighted a range of professional and systemic barriers to the practice of IM, education, and training. There was broad support for recognition of IM as a sub-specialty through formalised post-graduate training and accreditation. Most survey respondents (62%) expressed interest in post-fellowship recognition of GPs with advanced skills in IM. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that it is important to define best practice in IM for GPs in Australia and provide a standardised pathway towards recognition of advanced skills in IM.

AbstrakPendidikan dan Pelatihan diperlukan untuk mengatasi kesenjangan antara kualitas pelaksanaan tugas dengan standar kualitas minimal yang dibutuhkan, serta untuk meningkatkan  kualitas  kerja.  Penelitian  ini  bertujuan  untuk  mengetahui  dan menganalisis pelaksanaan analisis kebutuhan pendidikan dan pelatihan bagi Pegawai Negeri Sipil pada   Badan Kepegawaian dan Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia (BKPSDM) Kota Tidore Kepulauan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Unit Analisis terdiri atas 8 Informan serta dokumen-dokumen yang diperoleh dari BKPSDM  Kota  Tidore  Kepulauan  yakni  Dokumen  Rencana  Strategik,  Dokumen Laporan Akuntabilitas Kinerja, dan Dokumen Analisis Jabatan. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif.  Hasil  penelitian  memperlihatkan  bahwa  Badan  Kepegawaian  dan Pengembangan  Sumber  Daya  Manusia  Kota  Tidore  Kepulauan  tidak  melakukan analisis kebutuhan pendidikan dan pelatihan dengan tepat dan sistematis. Identifikasi kebutuhan pendidikan dan pelatihan di tingkat organisasi hanya ditentukan oleh pimpinan, identifikasi kebutuhan pendidikan dan pelatihan ditingkat pekerjaan hanya menyesuaikan dengan program-program pendidikan dan pelatihan yang ditawarkan oleh  penyelenggara  dan  kebutuhan  di  tingkat  individu  hanya  diputuskan  oleh pimpinan berdasarkan intuisi dan keinginannya. Oleh karena itu, sebaiknya BKPSDM Kota Tidore Kepulauan dalam menentukan bagian atau bidang mana dalam organisasi yang membutuhkan diklat dilaksanakan melalui proses analisis organisasi dengan melakukan wawancara keluar, survai Calon Peserta dan data kepuasan peserta maupun dengan melihat indeks efisiensi.Kata kunci:  Analisis Kebutuhan Pendidikan dan Pelatihan, Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia, Pemerintah Kota Tidore Kepulauan. Abstract Education and Training are needed to address the gap between the quality of task performance and the minimum quality standards required, as well as to improve the quality  of  work.  The  objective  of  this  study  is  to  understand  and  analyze  the implementation of training needs analysis for Civil Servants that was undertaken by The  Board  of  Employee  and  Human  Resource  Development  of  Tidore  Kepulauan Municipality. This study uses a qualitative method. Analysis Unit is 8 informants and documents obtained from BKPSDM Tidore Kepulauan Municipality namely Document of  Strategic  Plan,  Document  of  Performance  Accountability  Report,  Job  Analysis Document. Data were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that The Board  of  Employee  and  Human  Resource  Development  of  Tidore  Kepulauan Municipality did not conduct a proper and systematic training needs analysis. The training needs identification at the organizational level is determined solely by the leader, the training needs identification at the job level merely adjusting to the education and training programs offered by the organizers and the individual level needs only decided by the leadership based on intuition and desire. Therefore, it is better to BKPSDM Tidore Kepulauan Municipality in determining which part or field in the organization that need the training done through organizational analysis process by conducting out interview, participant survey and participant satisfaction data as well as by looking at the efficiency index.Keywords:  Training Needs Analysis, Human Resource Development, Tidore Kepulauan Municipality.
