Remote Vocational Training Scheme
The Remote Vocational Training Scheme is a vocational training program for medical practitioners in remote and isolated communities throughout Australia. The purpose of the program is to train doctors in remote communities for remote communities. The training provided meets the requirements for Fellowship of both ACRRM and RACGP.
The RVTS is a four year program that has been designed to deliver structured distance education and supervision to doctors while they continue to provide general medical services to a remote and/or isolated community.
RVTS Celebrates 10 Years
RVTS is celebrating 10 years of training doctors in remote communities for remote communities. We've come a long way from the days of just 11 registrars in the program, to a total of 55 registrars in 2010. The future looks bright, with 22 places available annually from 2011. Thanks to all past and present registrars, supervisors, medical educators, board members and admin staff who have helped make RVTS the success that it is.
