Registrars in Rural SA

Registrars are an important component of the medical workforce in rural South Australia. Recognising this, the Rural Doctors Workforce Agency (RDWA) has implemented a number of initiatives and events to support those registrars undertaking a rural pathway in GP training.

In South Australia, GP trainees benefit from the high quality training programs delivered by the following GP Training Providers:

The initiatives and events offered by the RDWA complement these training programs and provide additional assistance to rural GP trainees in rural and remote South Australia.
