New rural training stream aims to boost numbers of country doctors
From 2022, thirty training places will be made available to rural and regional students, to give priority to Deakin Medical applicants from communities in South West Victoria and the Grampians region.
That s the hope of a newly established rural training program led by Deakin University, aiming to increase the number of doctors living and working in rural and regional communities.
Deakin’s Dean of Medicine, Professor Gary Rogers said the new stream would continue to position Deakin as a medical school serving the workforce needs of South Western Victoria and the Grampians region.
