Welcome to the School of Rural Health
As the Acting Associate Dean of the School of Rural Health, I am pleased to welcome you to the Rural Clinical School of the Faculty of Medicine, The University of Sydney.
We began in 2001 initially as the Dubbo Clinical School but since 2004 we became The School of Rural Health. The School has campuses in Dubbo, Orange and Bathurst and has a close association with the Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health as well as the majority of hospitals in the Greater Western Area Health Service. The School of Rural Health provides delivery of The University of Sydney Medical Program in rural settings and aims to give students both excellence in medical education as well as exposure to a rural lifestyle so as to encourage graduates to return to live and practise in a rural setting. The School also provides an academic focus to attract clinicians, teachers and researchers who wish to become part of the University presence in a rural environment. Our funding has been through the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing via its Rural Clinical School Initiatives Program and our students, all of whom come from the metropolitan clinical schools, spend a total of at least one clinical year at the School of Rural Health.
Medical research is an increasing aspect of the School of Rural Health’s activities. We encourage our students to be involved in research and facilitate our staff and teachers to be involved in research projects. An increasing number of medical publications attest to this success.
We can confidently state that the facilities are first rate, the teaching experienced is excellent and our students give us excellent feedback.
Please explore the website and provide us with any feedback to make it better.
