Integrating Rural Health
Integrating Rural Health
Overview
The Rural Health MD Discovery 3 program will provide students with the opportunity for a detailed exploration of the disparities in healthcare access in a rural setting. The subject will explore Rural Generalism as a specialization and implications for healthcare in Australia (and training pathways). Students will gain an understanding of the skills involved underlying the Rural Generalist scope of practice such as primary care, obstetrics, anaesthetics, mental health services and emergency medicine.
All teaching will be centred around weekly cases, based on emergency medicine, primary care, and hospital based care. These cases will provide students with an in depth understanding of the role of the Rural Generalist in each of these contexts with specific clinically based workshops tailored for each case.
Dates and Times
All MD Discovery 3 topics will be held during a 4-week block to be determined based on topic selection and clinical school availability.
Teaching and Learning
Teaching and learning activities for topics include a mix of synchronous and asynchronous online materials, work integrated activities (on-site locations) and independent learning.
Please note that Teaching and Learning activities will include synchronous and asynchronous activities, including on campus (or other locations). Timetables are subject to change and Topic leads will endeavour to notify you of these as soon as possible.
