Overview
The Rural Clinical School was the first rural-based clinical school in Australia, established by UNSW in 1999 under a funding agreement with the Commonwealth Government through the Department of Health and Ageing. This agreement stipulated that 25% of all undergraduate medical students (HECS/Commonwealth supported students) are required to spend half their clinical training in a rural or regional centre.
It has two divisions - Greater Murray and Mid North Coast - together with a Sydney Campus. The School has its headquarters in Wagga Wagga with other campuses in Albury/Wodonga, Griffith, Coffs Harbour, Kempsey and Port Macquarie. The School aims to provide a community and regional hospital-based learning environment, offering diversified educational experience in rural health and medical practice. The School operates within the syllabus of the Faculty and provides a supportive medical academic environment which will enable its students to follow any career they may eventually select.
