ADTOS - getting the supports right

11:40 AM - 12:10 PM

Abstract Overview

The Rural Doctors Association of Australia is committed to supporting Australian Doctors who Trained Overseas. For many communities in rural and remote Australia we have relied upon overseas doctors who come to Australia for work, to provide the medical care. The review led by Prof Robyn Kurt outlined a number of areas where the Australian system needed to improve. These recommendations are now in process of being implemented.

So in this time of change, including new pathways to specialist registration, have we got the supports right? What issues remain unaddressed, has it improved or have the recommendations been with good intent but now poorly executed and what can we do better, as colleagues, employers, and Governments?

Join us to unpack all of this and more.
