Rural and remote communities in northern Australia and the tropics face unique health issues. We are committed to equipping health professionals with the capabilities to practice in rural and remote settings. Students enrolled in the Master of Rural and Remote Medicine study eight core subjects and then choose from a wide variety of elective subjects that are grouped according to your area of interest. For example, you may choose to study mental health, population health, paediatrics, emergency medicine, or adult internal medicine.
