This week, the final term of Road to Rural Interns for 2025 commenced their rural rotations! 🩺
For interns based in metropolitan hospitals, the Road to Rural (R2R) Intern program is a valuable rural generalist experience early in their careers where they are an integral part of the rural health team and have a genuine opportunity to experience life in a rural community.
Before leaving for country, Interns attend an orientation session at RDWA run by RDWA EDMS, Dr Tim Kelly, and Dr Lisa Koo. This session prepares them for their 10-week rotation with a refresher on practical skills for general practice, an overview of what to expect in the local practice, and information about the support available to them during the term.
We wish them a great rural generalist experience!
