Outcomes of Australian rural clinical schools: a decade of success building the rural medical workforce through the education and training continuum has been published on open access in the journal, Rural and Remote Health, by Jennene Greenhill, Judi Walker and Denese Playford.
The Australian government has funded the Rural Clinical Training and Support (RCTS) program for the past decade and this article looks in detail at the successes and challenges faced by the 17 medical schools set up under this program. Through semi-structured interviews with the program directors and others with a key involvement, as well as an analysis of enrolments of students and the consequent employment characteristics of graduates, the authors conclude that the program has been an "outstanding success" with graduates finding a passion for rural health practice.
