Rural Generalist Practice Domain

The Rural Generalist Practice Domain consolidates and reframes early career clinical knowledge and skills to better match local service strategic intent in order to deliver a safe and effective rural generalist service, that meets community needs. The modules promote identifying and managing increasingly complex cases with the support of a professional supervisor and provide the opportunity to develop a broad scope of both profession and service specific clinical capabilities by applying knowledge to both real and simulated consumers from across the lifespan and with a diverse range of clinical conditions. Modules provide ample opportunities to explore challenges presented in rural and remote communities with a focus on the strong multi-disciplinary nature of rural and remote practice.

The four focus areas in this domain include, Ages and stages across the lifespan, Managing health conditions, Profession specific clinical skills and Service specific clinical skills.
