Abstract

The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) trains general practitioners in and for smaller rural and remote communities to work as rural generalists. Measured in 2025, about 58% of ACRRM fellows were retained working in Modified Monash Model 4-7 communities, including 17% in remote communities. Rurality distribution of rural generalist fellows was very similar across each of the first 10 years post-fellowship.
