RESEARCHER PROFILE
Filmed in Sydney, Australia | July 2026
Dr Ramya Raman is a specialist general practitioner, practice owner, medical educator and supervisor for RACGP Academic Registrars, with research interests spanning women’s health, primary care, workforce development and medical education. Her work is grounded in the realities of contemporary general practice, with a focus on translating evidence into clinical care, strengthening preventive health approaches and improving outcomes for patients and communities.
Her research has explored areas of women’s health relevant to primary care, including screening, prevention and the implementation of best-practice care in general practice settings. This includes work examining how general practitioners respond to emerging clinical information, such as dense breast notifications following screening mammography, as well as research into the delivery of sexually transmitted infection screening for pregnant women in Western Australia.
Dr Raman also has a strong academic interest in medical education and the role of general practice in shaping the future medical workforce. Through the RACGP Educational Grant Program , she is involved in research investigating models of longitudinal clinical learning in outer metropolitan general practice. This work considers how medical student placements can support GP recruitment and retention, foster academic practice, and build training capacity in geographic areas of need.
Across her research portfolio, Dr Raman is particularly interested in projects that are embedded in real-world practice, support high-quality primary care, and contribute to a sustainable, academically engaged general practice workforce.
