The Regional Medical Training website is an initiative of the Southern Regional Training Hub Alliance, extended via collaboration with the NSW Regional Training Hub Network. This collaboration represents 17 of the 26 Regional Training Hubs (RTHs) funded under an Australian Government Initiative. The focus of this collaboration is to further support medical training and careers across the regional communities of Victoria, Tasmania, NSW and South Australia’s Riverland and Limestone Coast.
What we do
Key roles performed by Regional Training Hubs include:
- identifying and supporting medical students and junior doctors with an interest in rural practice (including bonded medical students)
- strengthening regional training capacity by upskilling supervisors
- assisting health services with accreditation and funding submissions for training posts
- exploring opportunities for expansion of specialist training in the regions by working with the Colleges and Federal and State Governments.
