Launched in July 2022, RACGP Rural delivers the Rural Generalist Fellowship (FRACGP-RG) to broaden the skills of rural GPs so they can deliver safe, accessible and comprehensive healthcare. These doctors are able to provide emergency medicine and other procedural and non-procedural additional skills, like obstetrics, surgery or mental health in addition to community general practice, to serve the needs of their rural communities.
The Rural Generalist Fellowship replaced the RACGP’s Fellowship of Advanced Rural General Practice (FARGP) which was launched and delivered by the Faculty from 2006 and has been obtained by more than 800 GPs across Australia.
