Bargara 2012… a sodden sojourn!

The week-end just gone saw the first of TROHPIQ’s inter-RCS trips at the (usually) lovely Bargara in the Wide Bay region.  Being just 15 minutes outside of Bundaberg, Bargara is fabled for combining surf beaches with access to the Great Barrier Reef and 35 eager students descended upon it hoping to enjoy a week-end of water.  The weather, however, had other ideas.

New Wide Bay Rural Clinical School Announced

 In an effort to better support students the University of Queensland Rural Clinical School units (UQRCS) at Fraser Coast and Bundaberg have officially merged to become the Rural Clinical School – Wide Bay.

Prof Geoff Nicholson, Head of the UQRCS, plans for the merger to “facilitate ongoing development of medical education and research in the Wide Bay region,’

According to the Clinical Director of the UQRCS Fraser Coast, Dr Riitta Partanen indicated the “resources such as library and IT will be shared across the two locations, and now students will now have the flexibility to move between sites, in order to maximise the available resources and placements with Queensland Health, the private hospital sector, community specialists and GPs.”

Later this year MBBS students will be able to preference either Wide Bay (Bundaberg) or Wide Bay (Fraser Coast) for their third and/or fourth clinical training years.
