Background And Objectives:
Rural clinical schools (RCSs) help address Australia’s rural workforce shortfall, but they require an investment by rural clinicians and communities. Our objective was to determine the location of RCS graduates as one measure of the effectiveness of RCSs.
Method:
This cross-sectional study obtained work location data for Australian National University Medical School (ANUMS) graduates and analysed both RCS and non-RCS data.
Results:
The percentage of graduates working in rural areas after their fifth postgraduate year (PGY6–11: 34.7%) was significantly greater than that of graduates in PGY1–5 (15.2%, P <0.001).
Discussion:
Many graduates who trained in rural sites spend time in cities before returning to work in rural areas. This is encouraging for rural clinicians and communities, but it can take time for graduates to return.
