Launching the NT Rural Generalist Pathway
On the 20th October 2021, NT Health and the Hon. Natasha Fyles MLA, Minister for Health, launched the NT Rural Generalist Pathway to provide an exciting foundation training opportunity for a general medical career path in the Territory.
Rural Generalists are specialised GPs who bring a broad set of advanced skills and services to Territorians living in rural and remote communities.
The pathway supports doctors in training with targeted learning and development opportunities in addition to relevant clinical experience to gain the skills required to become rural generalists.
It forms part of a national strategy to bolster access to primary health care and ensure rural generalists are trained, recognised and resourced to meet the critical health needs of Australians living in rural and remote locations.
