Abstract

There are well documented geographical, financial, social and professional barriers to continuing professional development (CPD) and peer support for rural medical practitioners, which significantly influence the recruitment and retention of health care professionals in rural areas. The Support Scheme for Rural Specialists (SSRS) provides a coordinated and collaborative framework to support the CPD and peer-support needs of medical specialists practising in rural and remote Australia. Since 2002, more than 80 CPD projects have been implemented by specialist medical colleges under the auspices of the SSRS. Projects have provided educational up-skilling or support for rural-specific clinical practice improvement initiatives aimed at strengthening clinician competence and capability, and workforce retention.

摘要

农村执业医生在持续专业发展（CPD）和同行支持方面存在地理、经济、社会和专业等方面有充分记录的障碍，这些障碍对农村地区医疗保健专业人员的招聘和留用产生了重大影响。农村专家支持计划（SSRS）提供了一个协调合作的框架，以满足在澳大利亚农村和偏远地区执业的医学专家的CPD和同行支持需求。自2002年以来，专科医学院在SSRS的支持下实施了80多个CPD项目。这些项目为旨在加强临床医生能力和技能以及留住劳动力的农村特定临床实践改进举措提供了教育技能提升或支持。
