Rural Health Continuing Education (Stream 1) Simulation Education Upskilling Program

The RHCE (Stream 1) is an initiative aimed at providing professional support for medical specialists in regional, rural and remote Australia which is overseen by the Committee of Presidents of Medical Colleges (CPMC) on behalf of the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aging, and administered by the Royal College of Physicians (RACP) on behalf of the RHCE project committee.
In this round, the Sydney Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre (SCSSC) will coordinate the project entitled “Using simulation and the theme of the deteriorating patient to develop skills and training capacity in rural and remote multi-professional teams”, to be delivered between April 2011 and April 2013.

Eligible specialists and others are encouraged to apply for any or all of these workshops as individual practitioners.
