Rural generalism and the National Rural Generalism Pathway
The National Rural Health Commissioner, Professor Paul Worley, invited the RACGP to a meeting in rural South Australia this week. Associate Professor Ayman Shenouda, Chair, RACGP Rural and Dr Melanie Considine, Deputy Chair, RACGP Rural attended.
Rural generalism and the National Rural Generalism Pathway were discussed at the meeting, with Drs Shenouda and Considine ensuring a strong RACGP voice at the table. The RACGP Rural Generalism 2020 position statement was released last year, and representing our members’ views will continue to be a priority in 2018.
