ACRRM students, registrars and Fellows have one thing in common - a desire to See More, Do More and Be More. Whether they are working in central Victoria, on the rugged Western Australian coastline, in the tropics of North Queensland or the farmlands of New South Wales and further afield, they are committed to being the best Rural Generalist they can, supporting rural and remote people with excellent health care. Enjoy their stories here.
Many of our members at ACRRM have gone on to win awards. Check out our awards page here.

Recognised as being a strong patient advocate who strives for a high standard of care across healthcare services, and for inspiring junior doctors, his commitment has benefited the East Arnhem Land community both from his presence, practice, and influence in the industry.
Dr Briceno would like to influence NT and national policy to further strengthen rural generalism and improve the health of Australians living in remote locations, particularly Aboriginal Australians.
More recently, Dr Briceno has worked closely with ACRRM to formally develop the NT Rural Generalist (RG) Pathway to expand the remote workforce in the NT over the longer term.
Dr Briceno received an Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) 2022 Distinguished Service Award for his significant contribution to rural and remote medicine and general service to the community.
What does rural generalism mean to you?
"Rural generalism allows us to practice medicine aligned to the needs of your community, culturally, respectfully and in a patient-centred way. Educating young RGs through the College is something I am deeply passionate about."
