About QRGP

The Queensland Rural Generalist Pathway currently supports more than 380 medical officers across Queensland. A total of 234 Fellows have completed their training with the program since its inception in 2007.

Rural Generalist Medicine was founded in Queensland as a generalist medical discipline in August 2005 by a group of key stakeholders who convened in Roma to develop the concept of a supported training pathway to a career in rural medicine. The Roma Agreement can be found in the publications tab.

Through the Medical Officers’ (Queensland Health) Certified Agreement (No.1) 2005, Rural Generalist Medicine was recognised by Queensland as a generalist discipline in May 2008.
