SUPPORTING RURAL AUSTRALIA – ARH RURAL MEDICAL SCHOLARSHIPS

SUPPORTING rural doctors in Australia is important to enable rural communities to access health care services. Australian Rotary Health offers specialised scholarship incentives to medical students completing their professional development in these communities. Particularly in the current climate of doctor shortages in regional Australia, providing opportunities for medical students may contribute to supporting essential healthcare services and retention of medical professionals in rural areas.
