About Rural Health Continuing Education Sub-Program (RHCE) - Stream One
The Rural Health and Continuing Education Sub-Program (RHCE) - Stream One is for specialist education in rural and remote areas.
The overall objectives of the RHCE Program are to provide education opportunities that support continuing professional development (CPD) for individual specialists and groups of specialists in rural and remote locations in Australia, with a focus on activities that encourage multidisciplinary team based training.
RHCE Stream One funding is divided into two distinct components:
- Support for CPD initiatives that promote Multi-disciplinary Teams (MDT) and help build vocational support and learning capacity for health professionals in rural and remote locations; and
- Support for individual specialist CPD participation
The Committee of the Presidents of Medical Colleges (CPMC) is pleased to advise that the term of RHCE Stream One Program has been extended from July 2013 to December 2013. This is will allow for the enhancement of several of the projects currently being funded through the program.
To date the RHCE Program has administered five funding rounds and awarded:
- 25 project grants to eleven Medical Specialist Colleges to develop and deliver CPD activities that meet the needs of medical specialists in rural and remote areas of Australia; and
- 70 individual grants to individual specialists who live and work in rural and remote locations to support their access to CPD
**There are currently no funding rounds open**
To receive notification of the opening of future funding rounds please subscribe to the RHCE newsletter
