Abstract
In 2021-2022 Flinders University College of Medicine and Public Health (CMPH) and Flinders University Rural and Remote Health SA (FURRHSA) undertook a significant evaluation of their longstanding flagship program the Doctor of Medicine Rural Stream (MDRS) (previously Parallel Rural Community Curriculum (PRCC)) to identify opportunities for improvement into the future.
Key findings:
The MDRS program:
• Is still expanding after 25 years of delivery in a changing healthcare landscape
• Delivers a strong learning experience through a network of committed educators
• Would be strengthened by formalising its curriculum philosophy and strategies
• Aspires to explicitly contextualise the medical program curriculum within the social contexts of community
