Description

The Handbook of Rural Medicine is the definitive resource for Australian medical students studying rural medicine. It is an invaluable resource for doctors undergoing postgraduate training in rural and remote areas, The book is divided into three sections: Context, which gives an overview of the key issues of rural society, demographics, health status and the health services and workforce; Clinical Practice, the main section of the book, which deals with priority clinical practice issues, using a case scenario approach to illustrate how rural and remote medicine differs from urban practice; and Professional Practice, which looks at how rural and remote medicine is structured, how it works and what are the key barriers and enablers to practice.
