Flinders University Rural & Remote Health SA Programs & Experiences
Through the transformative power of education, research, and partnerships we will inspire future generations of the rural and remote health workforce.
Our extensive rural and remote footprint, with significant infrastructure investment, outstanding staff, strong partnerships, and stakeholder engagement is something we are very proud of.
This unique footprint along the Australian Central Corridor is a distinguishing feature of Flinders University: it gives us the opportunity to develop leaders, and to improve the health and wellbeing of the communities we serve, live and work in.
Growing evidence suggests that health and medical students who undertake extended training in a rural area, and those from a rural background, are more likely to join the rural workforce upon graduation.
At Flinders, our education and research aim to equip the next generation of leaders and innovators with the skill, commitment, and vision to protect vulnerable communities and advance health outcomes.
Our programs support education and research that improves new and existing health professionals’ capability to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes, work in diverse settings, and serve the needs of a range of communities.
