The Conference and Scientific Forum
Welcome to Rural Medicine Australia 2012 in Fremantle, Western Australia: 26 to 28 October
This is the peak annual national conference for rural doctors and other professionals working in rural and remote communities. Last year, in Alice Springs, a record number of more than 400 delegates attended the event and a hefty majority expressed a desire to attend again in 2012.
Rural Medicine Australia 2012 will include the biennial scientific forum on rural and remote medicine. The program will feature research presentations in a variety streams, discussion forms, workshops, and skills updates. You can read the preliminary outline on the Program page.
The three day conference will be preceded by one-day and two-day procedural workshops accredited for continuing professional development.
The event is also an opportunity for rural doctors to renew and extend their nationwide network of friends and colleagues, exchange ideas, and share experiences.
Many delegates plan extra time around the conference to tour the local region and enjoy a much needed rest.
This national conference is hosted by the peak bodies in the sector: Rural Doctors Association of Australia and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine.
The three day event will be held at Fremantle WA from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 October and will be preceded by one-day and two-day procedural workshops for doctors wishing to acquire or update procedural skills.
