​

Each year 300 rural placements are available to medical students from Australian universities. After registering and completing an application, successful students are matched with a doctor in a rural location.

​

Whilst undertaking their tertiary studies, students spend two weeks each year over three or four years working alongside a rural doctor (their Mentor), experiencing the diversity of rural practice and expanding their hands-on skills. During their rural placement, most students reside with a Host and are provided a Community Contact who gives them an exclusive insight into the social and cultural life of rural Australia.

​

The key aspect of the JFPP, is that students return to the same rural location each year; creating lasting connections with the people and the place.

The John Flynn Placement Program is a highly-regarded and respected program with a strong reputation for delivering positive rural experiences, why not get involved?
