Recognising Rural Generalist Medicine as a specialist field

The process of having Rural Generalist Medicine recognised as a specialist field within the speciality of general practice has taken a significant step forward.

The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) have submitted a joint application to the Medical Board of Australia (MBA) to formalise national recognition of the distinct work and skill set of Rural Generalists.
