Griffith programmes for Rural Generalism.

MLHD Single Employer model for Rural Generalist training.

This is a ground-breaking initiative to fully integrate RG training in a District. For the first time RG training will have parity with medical specialty training in terms of length of contract and entitlements such as maternity leave. There is a separate focus on improving opportunities to expand time spent in regional sites during medical specialty training.

The hub works to align with the National Medical Workforce Strategy.

There is continuing mentoring of students and JMO’s with rural intent. There is a close liaison with the JMO unit in WWBH and their postgraduate program. Knowing the particular workforce needs of the District means that the Hub can help integrate career planning with actual jobs.
There is a significant focus on Simulation training utilising laboratoryÌýfacilities and expertise.

The Hub’s main focus in the last twoÌýyears has been on Rural Generalism and many valuable relationships have been built with the number large number of stakeholders in this area. The Hub is particularly well placed to help with career planning for Rural Generalism.Ìý
We can assist with specialty training and have experience in developing speciality training positions.

We are working with MLHD to build support for more isolated sites and medical practitioners. By improving connections people belong to a supportive group rather than just have a place of work.

The Murrumbidgee Local Health DistrictÌý(MLHD) Single Employer Model for Rural Generalist training was developed in partnership with the Hub and has the opportunity to develop into a long-term way of recruiting and retraining Doctors who are needed for essential service delivery across the District.
