Abstract

Rural and remote people experience health inequities that are made worse by the maldistribution of the health workforce in Australia and internationally. Rural health professions student placements are a commonly used form of work-integrated learning to promote rural health as a career option for health students soon to graduate. However, there is no standard definition of what determines a high-quality rural health professions student placement to guide policy and in turn, the optimal development of placements. In this presentation, we present a study protocol for identifying the determinants of high-quality rural health professions student placements from the university staff perspective.
