Country Doctor Plan Backed By Minister

A proposed program by the Australian College of General Practitioners aims to reduce the country doctor shortage. The plan would train medical graduates for two years in general hospitals, then three years in varied posts and apprenticeships before two scholars travel states to mentor young doctors. General practitioners have pledged about £50,000 toward the scheme, estimated to cost £500,000. Mr Sheahan said he would study the proposals to determine their practicability and allocation of two scholarships per state if feasible.
