Conducting A Rural Practice Review
In this module, you will learn about what’s involved in conducting a rural practice review.
The module was funded by the Department of Health and Ageing under the Rural Health Continuing Education (RHCE) sub-program Stream One to support rural dermatologists.
The RHCE grant enabled a number of rural dermatologists to visit the practice of another rural colleague. The module contains case studies from five of these dermatologists as well as information about how to conduct your own rural practice review.
RANZCR Appropriate Imaging Referrals
Course Overview
Improving the appropriateness of referrals for medical imaging, thereby enhancing the quality of clinical care, is an important issue around the country but is especially important in rural health where there may be more limited resources and increased patient travel time to imaging facilities.
Each of the nine clinical modules present the evidence behind the best clinical decision rules for that topic, followed by how to apply rules in practice. An interactive format is used, with numerous quizzes aimed to consolidate the theory, followed by clinical scenarios to assess understanding in practice. A smart phone app is also under development to help practitioners implement practices learned from the modules.
