Seeking rural generalist superheroes

We are seeking to identify medical practitioners keen to train towards GP Fellowship through the Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) pathway.

The ideal candidates will have a passion for rural generalism, be committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and be comfortable working in an isolated and remote location.

Requirements

These roles require medical practitioner/s training towards Fellowship with the College of Rural and Remote Medicine (FACRRM) or Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practice (FRACGP). The RVTS training pathway is preferred for these positions, which are very remote. 

The successful applicant/s must demonstrate recent significant emergency department experience and be interested in Indigenous health. Primary health care knowledge and skills are a pre-requisite by virtue of the training position.
