This subject focuses on the development of advanced knowledge and skills in the triage, assessment, and management of emergency presentations in the rural and remote environment. Students will use State, rural and remote clinical guidelines as a foundation for exploring the underlying pathophysiology, common assessment findings and collaborative management of common emergency presentations across the lifespan. Students will analyse the unique features and challenges of the rural and remote environment on the provision of timely, definitive emergency care and explore care delivery models to improve patient outcomes. Students will negotiate mentoring from a suitably qualified health professional to develop and complete a collaborative, competency-based learning contract in their workplace.
