We are a fully accredited teaching and training medical practice, meeting the standards set by the Royal Australian College of Practitioners, The Australian College of Remote & Rural Medicine and AGPAL. Our experienced doctors and nurses participate in the supervision and training of registrars and medical students, as well as student nurses on practicum. Providing up-and-coming Health Professionals with the opportunity to develop skills through hands-on clinical experience, under the supervision of a mentor.
All of our doctors and staff are committed to ongoing education and training, so as to provide the highest quality care to our patients throughout the lower Clarence.
Registrars reside at the practice for periods of up to 12 months, to help train the future medical workforce. Having these doctors both living and working in a rural area increases our chances of promoting future employment in rural areas.
