 Rural
and Remote Areas Placement Programs
The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM)
is proud to have been asked by the Commonwealth to coordinate Australian
postgraduate medical training initiatives. Grant funding is provided
by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing for the Rural
and Remote Areas Placement Programs (RRAPP).
The RRAPP
are innovative programs which enable up to one hundred junior doctors
throughout Australia to undertake a high quality rural community-based
term during their first three postgraduate years. These
programs are jointly managed by ACRRM and the Confederation of Postgraduate
Medical Education Councils, the Rural Doctors Association of Australia,
the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, the Committee
of Presidents of Medical Colleges and a number of medical centres
and university departments.
ACRRM, the
Flinders University Rural Clinical School (FURCS)
