RDWA’s R2R Medicine Clinical Skills Experiences are valuable, immersive and contemporary experiences for medicine students in their final year of university.

Working alongside experienced Rural Generalists (RGs) in a clinical environment, students will participate in a hands-on clinical training experience that includes simulated and clinical skills stations in a rural setting and the local hospital.

RDWA is offering two clinical skills experiences in 2025 held on different weekends in March:

• RG/GP Obstetrics Clinical Skills Experience – 1-2 March, 2025
• RG Anaesthetics Clinical Skills Experience – 29-30 March, 2025

Leading the experiences are experienced RGs and their teams who specialise in either Obstetrics or Anaesthetics.

As part of the experience, students will gain an understanding of the role, lifestyle and benefits of becoming an RG and get to explore the rural surrounds and engage with the local community through social events.

RDWA provides return bus transport, meals and accommodation.
