About Us

Flinders University Rural Clinical School (FURCS) has embarked on a unique challenge aimed at strengthening research and development in rural South Australia. The FURCS Research unit was established in 2004 with aim of developing a research culture in rural communities.

We aim to maximize the relevance of research to the community. By raising community expectations and engagement, it is expected that there will be increased commitment to, and collaboration in research.

It is envisaged that through research the community will understand the health challenges and better plan for the future. Additionally, undertaking quality post graduate research locally, will facilitate staff retention rates and attract clinicians to the region. The program of research will involve a five year plan that will be widely disseminated. The plan will demonstrate the essence of the developing research culture and therefore be used to apply for funding for research and further infrastructure. In this way health research can provide a powerful vehicle for further strengthening interconnections in rural communities.
