Abstract

[Extract] Rural generalism is a form of clinical practice that is equally relevant to all health professions. Some progress has been made with respect to formal recognition as a specialty, educational support, credentialling and employment conditions, although progress varies across professions and across states and territories. Discussions have generally focussed on rural generalism within each profession, acknowledging the broader scope of practice required and how to develop and maintain competence across that broader scope. Missing from these discussions, so far, is the importance of interprofessional clinical practice to rural generalism.
