Approved training sites
Registrars can do their training in either Division of Rural Hospital Medicine (DRHM) accredited hospital/department or at a department/practice that has been accredited for training by another specialty college.
All training runs need to be completed at a registrar level. Some SHO runs can be accepted with prior approval depending on the supervision and level of responsibility.
The compulsory six-month Emergency Medicine run needs to be at a registrar level. The compulsory rural GP run needs to be completed at a College approved rural general practice
Please see a list of DRHM accredited rural hospitals and other specialty runs.
