About the workshop
Our clinical rural skills enhancement (CRuSE) workshop will prepare you for your rural placement. It'll give you a better understanding of what healthcare is like in a rural setting.
You'll learn about:
- what is and isn’t in your scope of practice
- common things you’re likely to face
- providing emergency care with reduced resources
- caring for patients with specific needs, like children and pregnant women
- leadership, teamwork and effective communication in a crisis
- where to find support and resources to help with patient care
- how to get help from local and remote experts.
The workshop includes an online module, followed by a one day face to face workshop in Brisbane or Townsville.
You'll be taught by experienced:
- rural generalists
- emergency medicine specialists, registrars and nurses
- midwives.
There aren’t any formal assessment activities, and you’ll get a statement of attendance at the end of the program.
Who can attend
This workshop is free for junior medical officers completing a rural generalist term through the Queensland Country jDocs program.
If there are spaces left, medical officers not on the jDocs program can also attend. You'll need to pay a fee and answer some additional questions to check the workshop is suitable for you.
Registered nurses who work in rural settings can sometimes observe the workshops. Contact CRuSE@health.qld.gov.au for more information.
