To describe the experience of the University of Sydney's Broken Hill Department of Rural Health (BHUDRH) delivering a regional program in far western NSW.
Case Study Setting: The Australian Government's University Departments of Rural Health Program, established in 1997, has been responsible for setting up regionally coordinated rural placement programs for students from all health disciplines in each state and territory.
Over nine years the BHUDRH has harnessed both academic and administrative resources to achieve greater efficiency in program delivery, increased support for students during their placement, and enhanced educational opportunities that draw on regional issues. The Broken Hill program accepts students from 22 Australian universities and places more students in the region, for longer periods than previously (271 students in 2005 compared with 140 students in 1998).
Regional coordination, linked to investments in rural-based infrastructure and support systems can provide a sustainable platform from which to provide quality rural placements for students from all health disciplines, while at the same time increasing regional capacity to take students.
描述悉尼大学布罗肯希尔农村卫生系（BHUDRH）在新南威尔士州最西部开展一项区域项目的经验。
案例研究
澳大利亚政府于1997年设立的农村卫生系项目，负责为每个州和领地的所有健康学科的学生建立区域协调的农村实习项目。
在九年时间里，BHUDRH利用学术和行政资源，提高了项目实施效率，增加了学生实习期间的支持，并增加了基于区域问题的教育机会。布罗肯希尔项目接收来自22所澳大利亚大学的学生，并且比以往在该地区安置了更多的学生，时间也更长（2005年有271名学生，而1998年为140名学生）。
与农村基础设施和支持系统投资相关的区域协调，可以提供一个可持续的平台，为所有健康学科的学生提供高质量的农村实习机会，同时提高该地区接收学生的能力。
