Regional Training Hubs

The University of Queensland Regional Training Hubs operating in Central Queensland, Wide Bay and Southern Queensland, complement the existing investment in rural training for university medical students and seeks to strengthen the pipeline to rural practice for both GPs and specialists.

We support and connect junior doctors to rural career pathways and work to improve the retention of medical graduates to our regions.

Our focuses:

• supporting medical students and prevocational doctors with an interest in rural and regional medicine through connection, mentorship and career advice 
• establishing strong working relationships with our local Health Services, Primary Health Network and Medical training providers to facilitate pathway
• supporting current supervisors of clinical training; assisting health services in obtaining accreditation for new training posts and supporting local medical practitioners to become clinical supervisors
