This week marks the exciting start of a new chapter for more than 180 passionate registrars joining the ACRRM Fellowship program across Australia.
These dedicated professionals are stepping up to meet the healthcare needs of rural, remote, and First Nations communities, embarking on a four-year journey to become ACRRM Rural Generalists – highly skilled doctors who are ready to take on the diverse opportunities rural generalism offers.
ACRRM President Dr Rod Martin shares his enthusiasm for this new cohort of registrars:
“We are incredibly proud to welcome these doctors to the ACRRM Fellowship program, a pathway that will equip them with the unique skills required to provide world-class healthcare where it’s needed most,” Dr Martin says.
“Rural communities often face significant healthcare barriers, and these registrars will play a pivotal role in bridging that gap, ensuring high-quality healthcare is within reach.
ACRRM Fellowship is gaining in popularity with the College oversubscribing its allocated places for the past two years.
The popularity is largely due to the College’s comprehensive training that prepares Rural Generalists and rural General Practitioners to work across a range of settings – from hospitals to general practice and community clinics.
Registrars gain skills from preventative health strategies to life-saving medicine, while also obtaining an advanced specialist skill from one of 12 disciplines including anaesthetics, emergency medicine, mental health, obstetrics, paediatrics, palliative care and more.
“Undertaking ACRRM Fellowship is more than just participating in a training program; it’s a commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of people living in regional and remote areas,” Dr Martin continues.
“We’re proud to be part of shaping the next generation of Rural Generalists, doctors who will go on to help transform rural healthcare across Australia.
“We look forward to introducing these new registrars to their ACRRM peers and their local communities, and to welcoming a second cohort later this year.”
