Teaching and learning

Our commitment to delivering quality medical education within rural settings remained strong in 2022 and we are thankful for our ongoing clinical and teaching partnerships which allowed us to provide quality education experiences. We also continued to increase our support and opportunities for nursing and allied health students to experience healthcare within rural communities while completing placements and look forward to growing this in years to come.
