Abstract | Introduction: Rural generalist (RG) doctors are broadly skilled to provide comprehensive primary care, emergency and other specialist services in small, distributed communities where access is otherwise limited because of distance, transport and cost limitations. In Victoria, Australia, the Victorian Rural Generalist Pathway (VRGP) represents a significant state-wide investment in training and growing the next generation of RGs. The first step of the VRGP is well established through the Rural Community Internship Training program, which commenced in Victoria in 2012–2015; however, the second step (RG2) requires expansion by growing supervised learning in small rural communities where RGs will eventually work. This project aimed to explore enablers and barriers to the supervision of RG2 learners across a core generalist curriculum in distributed towns in three rural Victorian regions. |
