Prospective Trainees
Support Services
The aim of the Rural Generalist Pathway WA (RGPWA) is to facilitate the transition for rural generalist trainees through the various educational and training components within hospital and primary care settings, as well as provide post-fellowship support to rural generalists. By joining the RGPWA, trainees will be able to access a range of support services relevant to their stage on the pathway as outlined below. More support services will be offered as the pathway expands.
Trainee Recruitment Process
The RGPWA trainee recruitment process is outlined in the image below.
It is important to remember that the RGPWA helps facilitate training and is not an offer of employment or fellowship training. All doctors on the RGPWA must obtain their own employment and fellowship training separately.
