Hello and welcome.
This online session provides an introduction to rural health practice. The course is made up of 3 sections. Each section can be accessed by the curriculum tab. To keep track of your progress through the course, work through each section and at the bottom of each page click on ‘complete’. This MUST be done to register you have completed the course.
The first section provides an introduction to rural health. The second section presents 6 key concepts to consider when working in rural health settings:
- Access to health care
- Generalist practice
- Overlapping relationships
- Inter-professional team practice
- Cultural safety & cultural security
- Models of rural health care
Following discussion of each of these six concepts, the third section provides a case study for you to work through. We think this online module will take you 60 minutes to complete.
Before we discuss each of the concepts, we present some background information on rural health.
*WARNING*: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people please note that this course contains images of a person who is now deceased.
