Sydney Medical School boosting economies and rural medical education

Sydney Medical School’s long history of training students in rural NSW is boosting local economies and the number of graduates who want to work as rural doctors.

“Rural training experience increases the likelihood that doctors will commit to working in rural locations long term,” said Professor Conigrave. “This is why we have had a longstanding commitment to the training of rural doctors for more than 20 years.”

The University of Sydney has a School of Rural Health in Dubbo and Orange and Departments of Rural Health in Broken Hill and Lismore.

“By the end of 2017, almost 1,000 of our medical students will have undertaken extended training placements in these four centres,” said Professor Conigrave.

“At graduation, these students are telling us that they would prefer to work in rural areas. The government’s new funding for the rural doctor training ‘pipeline’ will help these students to achieve their ambitions and their talents for rural health and medicine.”

However, Professor Conigrave said that there were not enough medical training positions to convert students’ intentions into medical careers in rural areas.

“We’re doing very well in priming the pipeline for the training of rural doctors—many more new medical graduates are now trying to get jobs in rural hospitals as interns. In fact, there are now significantly more applicants for these critical rural junior hospital training jobs than there are jobs available.”

Underlining the university’s contribution to rural economies, Professor Conigrave said, “We have a track record of excellence in rural medical education and we are making significant contributions to local economies.”

“At Dubbo and Orange, for example, the University of Sydney School of Rural Health contributes close to $7 million each year in direct local expenditures.

“This provide jobs for more than 50 people in central western NSW, all of whom live locally—they make up almost 30 full-time equivalents. Many of them are highly skilled, and might otherwise have been obliged to look elsewhere for work,” said Professor Conigrave.

“Then, of course, there are also indirect economic benefits. The 64 students that take extended rural placements each year bring business to local shops, sporting facilities and food outlets, and contribute to community life and projects of all sorts.

“In addition, the School of Rural Health requires many local services: motor vehicles, IT, transport services, plumbing, the maintenance of grounds and even the paint on the walls.

“But most importantly, the University of Sydney School of Rural Health in Dubbo and Orange and Departments of Rural in Broken Hill and Lismore are helping to lift access to quality healthcare among Australians in rural and remote areas,” added Professor Conigrave.

In April, the University of Sydney won $3 million in federal funds to establish Rural Training Hubs in Broken Hill, Dubbo and Lismore to boost rural-based training and career pathways for trainee doctors.

Commenting on the award of funding Professor Conigrave said, “We’re very pleased that the Federal Government has recognised the need to create this training pipeline.

“The funding will enable junior doctors with ambitions in rural medicine to undertake specialist training in rural rather than metropolitan centres, developing into fully fledged experts who can provide rural communities with specialist healthcare in all major fields of medicine, including general practice and rural and remote medicine and surgery.”

Study medicine at the #1 medical school in Australia

Did you know the University of Sydney Medical School is ranked #15 in the world and #1 in Australia (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2017)? It’s true!

Sydney offers the very popular MD program, a four-year professional postgraduate-entry course with three primary aims for graduates: excellent clinical skills and preparedness for practice; experience in research; and experience and awareness of health in an international setting. It includes weekly clinical experience in leading hospitals from the very first weeks, regular PBL (problem-based learning) exercises in small groups, traditional lectures with expert practitioners, and ongoing opportunities to participate in research.

Program: Doctor of Medicine (MD) Location: Sydney, New South Wales (Camperdown/Darlington campus) Semester intake: January 2018 Duration: 4 years Application deadline: June 20, 2017 Deadline to submit all documents: Monday, June 26, 2017 Skype interview invitations sent: mid-July Skype interviews: July 31 – August 11, 2017 First-round offers made: from late August (and may continue to be made until December 2017)

Sorry for not blogging for a while! I would use assignments and the end of the semester as an excuse, but I’ve also done some fun stuff. It’s crazy to think that my time in the Land Down Under is almost over. I only have about 3 weeks left, then to Indonesia, and then home to start my summer classes at App State. It’s been the most enjoyable and amazing wild ride of my life. It has gone by so fast and I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve met so many wonderful people from many different places. I’ve seen so many gorgeous sights, but I’m not done! Starting today, I will go to Cairns with Brianna, Eunice, and Kate (snorkeling! 5/27-5/31), back to Lismore, then Adalaide with Alex (6/2-6/6), Sydney (6/6-6/8), Brisbane to meet mom (6/8-6/11), Melbourne (6/11-6/14), Brisbane, Lismore to pack up, Brisbane again, Bali (6/18-6/21), Jogjakarta (6/21-6/29), Bali again (6/29-7/1), then back to the US of A! I’m so excited for all of these travels and I am beyond fortunate and very grateful to have the opportunity to see all of these amazing places. I cannot thank my parents, the Wilson Scholars team, and Appalachian State enough for supporting me financially and academically. This has been the journey of a lifetime. Also, Happy Ramadan to my Muslim friends and family.

With the exception of a few points, this article is so true about studying abroad in Australia: https://www.buzzfeed.com/laraparker/things-only-people-who-studied-in-australia-understand?utm_term=.pbpkRVxjW

Here’s what I did from May 10 to now…

Wed, May 10: Class, free lunch, and cheer as usual.

Thu, May 11: Made some pancakes to share with the roomies, grocery shopping, socialized around Orion.

Fri, May 12: A bunch of the international students from Lismore and Gold Coast campuses met with the head of SCU international on campus at the unibar and talked with him. Orion was pretty dead that night because so many people were away traveling.

Sat, May 13: I watched the SCU Goldrats play rugby with Alex, Liv, and Gabi. It started raining about halfway through the game, but they kept playing and we lost in the end. I spent some time with Hailey and other friends in Orion before heading to The One, the only nightclub in Lismore. We danced the night away!

Sun, May 14: I wished my lovely mother a Happy Mother’s Day and did some school work.

Mon, May 15: Since we don’t have class on Mondays, Alex and I went to Byron Bay for the day. It was gorgeous, so we spent about half of the day on the beach and the other half walking around the town and looking in various shops. Byron Bay has a lot of beautiful street art and amazing restaurants.

Tue, May 16: Class, gym, and planned my weekend in Gold Coast.

Wed, May 17: I interviewed the manager at the bank of campus for my communications class. I had class and free lunch as usual. There was a “Stress Less” day sponsored by the equivalent of student government at SCU. There was free henna and fairy floss (cotton candy) and there was an LGBTQ+ thing going on with a gorgeous drag queen. That evening, I went to the shopping center with Alex because she left for camping the next day. Abby and Rachel (exchange students from Minnesota) came with me to cheer and we had a lot of fun!

  Thu, May 18: Basically spent the whole day working on my Sociology essay and met with my group to turn in our project for Management.

Fri, May 19: I spent most of the day finishing my sociology essay before hopping on a bus to Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise). I met Ben from Sydney there and we had a fun night on the town. I got to try a Halal Snack Pack, which is basically kebab meat on a bed of fries with sauce. Apparently they became popular after Pauline Hanson (an Australian politician) spoke out against them because she does not support Halal food certification. I think this has to do with Islamophobia. Very interesting…

Sat, May 20: I spent some time at the beach with Ben, and then we went to a Gold Coast Titans rugby game. It was a different type of rugby than the Christchurch Crusaders. I still don’t really understand rugby, but it’s fun to watch live because of the crowd atmosphere. We went for a swim before going out again. There was a lot of live music and fun places to go in Surfers Paradise. I’m amazed at how many American accents I heard that night. Gold Coast is definitely a tourist hub with people from all over the world partying every weekend.

Sun, May 21: It was another beautiful day at the Gold Coast. I had pancakes for breakfast and some energy drink flavored gelato for a snack. We went up the Skypoint tower, which had 360 degree views from 322 meters up. I love seeing cities from high up. So far, I’ve been to observation decks like this in NYC, Boston, Sydney, and Gold Coast. I think seeing Paris from the top of the Arc de Triomphe counts also. Afterwards, we went to Pacific Fair (a huge shopping center) for lunch and then to the Broadbeach Blues Festival. There were a bunch of different stages with various performers. We wandered among several of them and there were some really talented musicians there. I got to watch the sunset on the beach. There were a bunch of people playing volleyball and the sky was picture perfect. We got Japanese food for dinner, where I tried Gyoza (a type of dumpling) and Karaage (a type of fried chicken). Delicious!

Mon, May 22: I took a very early bus back to Lismore and slept much of the day. We had our Returning Home Info Session that afternoon and I realized how close we are to the end of the session. It was very bittersweet and probably one of the last times all of the internationals would be gathered together because people want to travel a lot before they have to go home. We got free pizza and socialized a bit. Afterwards, Alex and I went grocery shopping.

Tue, May 23: I did my last assignment for Management, which was an online quiz. I had my last Management class and went to Sh’Bam (the zumba-like class I do almost every Tuesday). I got Alex to come and she had a good time! That evening, my roommate Abbie interviewed me about New Zealand for her Tourism class.

Wed, May 24: We had another inspection, so I cleaned the apartment a bit in the morning. The last sociology class was last week, so I went to free lunch with Alex and then to my last Communications class. No cheer, so we went to the last Open Mic night. We had tacos and listened to some live music. Ned (who we went to Lennox Head with a few weeks back) did a really cool guitar song. I bought my plane tickets for the Adelaide-Sydney-Brisbane adventure.

Thu, May 25: I met with Charli, who has been driving me to cheer all semester and gave her a thank you card. I went to the gym and did laundry before picking up a few things at the shops and heading to the unibar for SCU’s Got Talent. The winners got $1000, second place got $300, and third got $200. There were some interesting acts and some good ones. I only stayed for four of them, including my friends Eunice, Bri, Gabi, and Liv. They did a parody of “Ice, Ice, Baby” about their time at SCU. It was very fun to watch, but they ended up in seventh place out of seven. I stayed up late writing my Communications report afterwards.

Fri, May 26: I spent the day in the apartment except for when I delivered a thank you card to Meg, the bank employee for letting me interview her.

I may not have time to write another blog post until I’m back in the states, but you can always follow along with my posts on Facebook and Instagram. Thanks for reading!
