Rural Readiness Project evaluation
The RANZCP Rural Psychiatry Training Pathways ‘Rural Readiness Project’ evaluation finds the program effectively builds trainee confidence, understanding and connections for training in a rural location through e-learning, workshops and networking. Rural Readiness supports recruitment interest and early retention indicators, aligns with the psychiatry workforce priorities, and is valued and scalable.
RANZCP Rural Psychiatry Training Pathways Rural Readiness Project was funded by the Australian Government Flexible Approach to Training in Expanded Settings (FATES) program.
