Enrollments in GP vocational training in the Northern Territory have plummeted by 80 per cent over the past seven years, with only 14 commencing this year, a new study has found, raising calls for urgent action.
The study, published in the Australian Journal of Rural Health, was led by Menzies School of Health Research Professor of Remote and Rural Health Services Research John Wakerman, that revealed the massive drop in enrollments in junior doctors training as General Practitioners in the NT, that now has the Commonwealth and NT governments scrambling to introduce a new program to get doctors back to remote Australia.
What about the Doctors that are leaving in Droves, not even completing their 12 month contracts?
The disgust they have for senor management at RDH is unbelievable!
