Training With UDRH Training Hub

The UDRH program

The Remote Vocational Training Scheme (RVTS) offers GP registrars an alternative pathway to Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and/or the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM).

The UDRH is an independent, Commonwealth-funded program supporting the LHD and RFDS with their own application process and intake quota annually.

UDRH brings educational opportunities to General Practitioners practicing in areas where accessing mainstream training is impractical or impossible. Training is provided via distance education and remote supervision, allowing our registrars to practice in some of Australia's remotest locations while training for fellowship.

Registrars enjoy the same level of supervision and support, no matter how remote they are.

Registrars can be found practicing in a variety of roles, including, Royal Flying Doctors, Medical Officers in a variety of specialties including, Paediartics, Mental Health, Palliative care, Emergency medicine, Aesthetics, Obstetrics, and women’s health with Aboriginal Medical Services and in private practice. 

Our registrars remain in the one location for the duration of their training, so the program is both community and family friendly. Participants wanting a metro experience as part of the program will have this facilitated.

The program is renowned for its relaxed atmosphere, high quality training and world-class administrative support. It all adds up to a great experience for registrars.

The three or four-year program delivers structured distance education and supervision to doctors while they continue to provide general medical services to a remote and/or isolated community.
