The National Rural Leadership Development Seminar is the first of its kind in Australia, enabling allied health, nursing and medical students to come together in a truly multi-professional arena, to be provided with specific skills needed to excel in career paths in rural and remote Australia.

Applications closed on Friday 12th March.  Please contact rural@amsa.org.au for more information on this event.  

The NRLDS will be held at the University of Wollongong from 8-10th April 2010.

The NRLDS is designed to be an interactive “hands-on” experience for delegates where they will be able to gain additional skills to further them as professionals. This event will include keynote speakers, workshops and open floor sessions that will allow delegates to discuss particular issues current within rural, remote and Indigenous health in Australia. This event will also see the first student-run rural health roundtable, where delegates as well as invited professionals in the field of rural health can come together to address rural health workforce issues.

In conjunction with the amazing academic program designed to advance the skill base of tomorrow’s leaders in rural health, the NRLDS will boast a social program that will allow delegates, invited guests and sponsors to network together in a formal setting.

We are inviting all students interested in rural health to apply to attend the NRLDS.  The Seminar will provide the opportunity for medical, nursing and allied health students from around Australia to come together and discuss the big issues in rural health.

Registration will cost students $200.  This is inclusive of all travel including flights and trains to Wollongong, accommodation, food and academic sessions.  The cost is standard across all delegates.
