Philosophy
Our focus is on the training, development and support of the rural and remote health workforce and the management of key health
issues in the rural and remote setting.
Our academic staff is involved in research in these fields which helps inform our program and target our education. The academic staff work in their respective health disciplines which adds to MICRRHs ability to deliver education in the context that the information will be applied.
