Referring to Going Rural Health initiatives, a student coordinator from another university commented: ‘..the students have had a wonderful time and felt very supported. Thank you for your work with us this year, you are doing a great job making these connections! The living skills project is fantastic’ ..and .. ‘it is excellent news that you have sourced a number of local clinical supervisors.’

‘I enjoyed being able to work closely
with other health professionals and the opportunity to provide personalised care for each client. My teamwork skills have improved immensely as a result of this placement.I also now appreciate the importance of client advocacy and some of the associated advantages and challenges of a rural setting.Having placement in a rural setting has increased my desire to work in a rural setting once I graduate.’
