To support your continued learning, our Medical Professional Development program provides clinical education workshops on a range of specialist areas that have been identified by SA’s rural GPs.
One of the highlights of the RDWA Medical Professional Development program is that rural GPs can undertake a wide range of clinical upskilling close to home, reducing the need to travel and leave your practice and community for long periods.
About
The Medical Professional Development Program is a series of presentations given by key rural specialists. In 2021 we have added workshops focusing on Endocrinology and Rheumatology in addition to Dermatology.
The presentations are designed to be interactive and practical to build GP confidence and management of each speciality including when to investigate, reassure or refer.
Events are delivered in the evening from 7pm and dates in early 2021 are set for the Barossa, Crystal Brook, Port Augusta and Mt Gambier. If you are interested in a workshop, but one near you hasn’t yet been published please contact us to register your interest.
Eligibility
You can register to attend Medical Professional Development workshops if you live and practice as a GP in rural South Australia.
