摘要:

ABSTRACT:The University of Washington is the only United States medical school serving the health care education needs of Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho (WAMI) and has evolved a unique set of partnerships to address this predominantly rural region of the United States. Three specific aspects of this program are relevant to Australia's rural health needs: (i) ‘pipeline’ efforts that groom rural and minority students long before medical school in order to keep them in the potential applicant pool; (ii) a decentralized medical school curriculum that provides repetitive training opportunities in rural and community‐based settings; and (Hi) special residency rotations, physician assistant programs and rural hospital support all of which train and maintain health care providers in rural remote set

摘要:

ABSTRACT:As part of a broader investigation into the training needs of rural doctors, the reasoning behind decisions of graduates to enter rural practice in North Queensland was explored. North Queensland is a growing and diverse region that is home to 500 000 people but has had no local production of medical graduates. While prior rural exposure was found to be a powerful influence on the decision of some, a small number of those interviewed entered rural practice almost by chance, liked it and stayed. Should this finding be confirmed in more formal investigation, workforce planners would need to continue initiatives to recruit graduates who have no prior connection to rural life.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:A simple and effective way of enhancing the chance of medical students to choose rural practice as a vocation is to encourage them to contribute to their education about rural practice and to support those who demonstrate such commitment. This prize winning response to an essay competition, describing the 10 skills important to a country general practitioner, is linked with a discussion of ways that the outlined ideals may be met.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:Based on a 6 month retrospective analysis of clinic records, the present study reports a detailed profile of nursing services provided for guests at three tropical island tourist resorts. A total of 1183 clinic visits were analysed, with presentations coded according to the International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC). The main reasons for presentation were skin problems, ear disorders, respiratory, digestive and musculoskeletal complaints. Health services consisted mainly of medication, specialist nursing care and first aid. Study findings highlight the importance of using an internationally accepted classification system for primary health research, and the critical role of the nurse in tourist health services.

摘要:

ABSTRACT:This paper describes the development of Queensland's rural health policy approach over the past 5 years. The period is marked by significant political, structural and philosophical changes at state and departmental levels. The regionalisation of Queensland's public health services and introduction of strategic management, a commitment to social justice principles and a social view of health, and the acceptance of ‘rurality’ requiring a special focus have been key factors in the rural health policy arena. Queensland's policy formulation process was also influenced by national developments in the emergence of a national rural health strategy. In addition, the recognition that outcomes for rural communities reflect decisions made by a number of agencies has seen the creation of new and influential rural policy co‐ordinating bodies with a total Government
