Topic: The RACS Rural Professional Skills Curriculum and eLearning course - a new resource for Trainees, Supervisors and Surgeons.
Presenter: Dr Bridget Clancy

About the Topic:

The new RACS Remote, rural and regional professional skills curriculum (RACS Rural PSC) and eLearning course are now available.

The RACS Rural PSC describes the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for urban and rural surgeons to provide quality surgical care to remote, rural and regional people. The curriculum will prepare Trainees with contextual skills for rural practice and for rural focused urban surgical practice (RUFUS), including inreach, outreach, virtual healthcare, collaboration in dispersed teams and health system design to deliver equitable health outcomes.

The curriculum is supported by an eLearning course, with free access for all Trainees, SIMGs and Surgeons. The course includes in-module assessment, an inquiry-based learning activity and guide for Supervisors.

The project is funded by the Australian Department of Health, Disability and Ageing through the Specialist Training Program.
