TAS RURAL TRAINING<br />
Since 2017, the Department of Health had provided funding to develop rural<br />
primary care rotations for interns in Tasmania through the Rural Junior Doctor<br />
Training Innovation Fund (RJDTIF). In Tasmania, the RJDTIF funded the<br />
organisation Ochre Health Pty Ltd. However, this RJDTIF arrangement ended in<br />
2022, with the John Flynn Prevocational Doctor Program (JFPDP) now<br />
consolidating the two funding streams under the Rural Junior Doctor Training<br />
Innovation Fund (core and rural generalist).<br />
The rural training consists of 13-week rotations in a location that provides broad<br />
scope Rural Generalist services to the community (primary care, emergency,<br />
inpatient care). This can include a rural GP rotation. These rotations are available at<br />
the North West Regional Hospital (NWRH), Launceston General Hospital (LGH)<br />
and the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) and interns may be able to return to their<br />
student rural community.<br />
A previous quote summarises that “[general practice] is an approach to health and<br />
medicine that is not reductionist. We are not doctors for particular diseases,<br />
particular organs, nor particular stages in the life cycle, we are doctors for people.”<br />
Employed by the Tasmanian Government, the <strong>2023</strong> intake sees 44 interns start at<br />
the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH), 41 at the Launceston General Hospital (LGH) and<br />
11 at the North West Regional Hospital (NWRH).
