Remote Health Practice
Overview
The Remote Health Practice program aims to meet the higher education needs of health professionals working in remote areas and supports the transition to remote practice for those who have an interest in joining the remote health workforce.
Health professionals are challenged to advance their knowledge of the discipline of remote health and develop the necessary skills for working within the remote and Indigenous context to improve health outcomes of remote and Indigenous populations.
This articulated program was developed in collaboration with CRANAplus and is offered in external mode through the Centre for Remote Health in Alice Springs.

They aim to provide education at a foundation level across three major content areas that underpin practice within the discipline of remote health locally, nationally and internationally: the remote context, public health, and application to practice.
