ACRRM Training Program Structure

Primary Rural & Remote Training

ACRRM structure

Primary Rural and Remote Training (PRRT) consists of 24 months experience in ACRRM-accredited rural or remote posts—including hospital, general practice, community, and other posts. 

The aim of this period of training is to progressively build your clinical and procedural skills in the rural and remote context. After completing this training period, you will be able to independently provide comprehensive and continuing care for individuals, families, and communities across the primary and secondary care continuum in a rural and remote setting.

PRRT must be undertaken in accredited posts in one or more settings. These include private practice, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services, the Royal Flying Doctor Service, or small rural hospitals.
