About Riverland Academy of Clinical Excellence
The Riverland Mallee Coorong Local Health Network (RMCLHN) has established RACE – the Riverland Academy of Clinical Excellence.
RACE is a multidisciplinary division within RMCLHN, that has been created to deliver on our commitment to take responsibility for training our own clinical workforce, creating and improving relevant evidence bases for our clinical practice, and bringing the benefits of integrated teaching, research and clinical care to the communities in our region.
RACE aims to boost clinical training and employment across the Riverland Mallee Coorong region and is creating exciting new opportunities for research and innovation. It also enables RMCLHN to further develop its culture of quality improvement and deliver on its commitment to excellence in clinical care.
RACE articulates RMCLHN’s ambition to be a centre of excellence in rural health and highlights our commitment to medical education in our region and counteracting medical workforce shortages in line with the South Australian (SA) Rural Health Workforce Strategy, SA Rural Rural Medical Workforce Plan the National Rural Generalist Pathway.
Our vision for RACE is that RMCLHN is a highly sought-after training region for medical graduates. Our projected outcome is that Trainee Medical Officer (TMO) positions are consistently filled with high quality graduates who progress to Fellowship training, through to consultant positions in RMCLHN. RACE has two functions – Research and Education.
