About the network
The Rural Generalist Obstetric Network (RGON) connects rural generalist obstetricians throughout Queensland.
We hold events for our members at least 4 times a year. Events include social, educational and membership meetings where you can:
- build social and professional connections
- present cases for peer review
- learn from experts and each other
- gain CPD points.
Our sessions are interesting and challenging. We have lively and thoughtful discussions.
Meetings are chaired and facilitated by:
- Dr David Barker, a practising RGO in Beaudesert
- Dr Adam Bush, a FRANZCOG specialist in Brisbane and director of the flying obstetrics and gynaecology service based out of Roma.
How to join
You can join our network if you’re a practising rural generalist obstetrician.
